Innovating Health Solutions to COVID-19
***In deference to the importance of the June 3 panel discussion "Reimagining Policing in the Wake of Continued Police Violence," featuring former President Barack Obama and other national leaders, we are postponing our event until Friday, June 5. Stay tuned for more details.***
In New York, Spain, and Italy, coronavirus swamped hospitals, depleted supplies of vital equipment, and exposed healthcare workers to the ravages of a virus that no one has ever confronted before.
But Chicago’s healthcare industry has largely managed to avoid the worst effects of Covid-19, with a healthy degree of ICU capacity, open beds, and sufficient PPE to go around.
In this special virtual program, we’re bringing together the innovators and decision-makers on Chicago’s frontlines to understand how the Windy City responded to the threat of a global health crisis with such fortitude. Examining the unique partnership of medical professionals and entrepreneurial collaborations, we’re taking a deep dive on the city’s response to the pandemic to understand what went well and what needs to be done in the future to prevent the system from becoming overrun.
