Since CSG East and the state of New Hampshire could not host an in-person Annual Meeting and Policy Forum this year due to the pandemic, CSG East was pleased to offer a Weekly Webinar Series with nationally recognized speakers throughout the month of August.

The first in the series featured Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at The George Washington University’s Milken School of Public Health, who engaged in a fascinating conversation on coronavirus testing, public health and the role of states, the challenges of children returning to school in the fall, and how you can “budget” coronavirus exposure in your life.

Dr. Lisa Simpson, president and chief executive officer of AcademyHealth, brought her expertise as a  health policy researcher and pediatrician to the panel, interviewing Dr. Wen.

Below you will find the video of the session as well as links to some of Dr. Wen’s columns on the coronavirus.
