Over the past year, our communities have experienced several changes in public health policy, from cuts to Medicaid and the federal public health workforce to the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These policy shifts have significant and nuanced impacts in communities across the country, many of which are still unfolding. The future of our collective wellbeing requires an interdisciplinary approach to public health to address some of the most pressing challenges of our lifetime and propose bold solutions for the betterment of all. We need creative engineers, social workers, lawyers, economists, and – of course – medical and public health professionals to come together and rethink health. WashU’s new School of Public Health is doing just that! 

Join us for Civic Café where we’ll hear from the School of Public Health’s Inaugural Dean Sandro Galea, MD, DrPH. Over dinner, we’ll learn about his civic journey, how WashU’s newest school is addressing the issues of our times, the role of public health in a well-functioning democracy, and why it matters to us all.
