The 2023-2024 Grand Rounds on the Future of Public Health speaker series will center around the theme, A Healthy and Just World: What would it take? This idea builds upon the framework of public health as a foundational public good for society and takes it to the next level of what investments, structures, communications and more are needed to realize public health’s true potential to foster a healthy and just world. The series will engage our community on topics of health equity, public health communications, climate change, healthy aging, mental health, global health and community health.
