On 4/16/20, Hunter hosted this online program as part of the Hunter@Home series.

This virtual Roosevelt House event features two distinguished professors of public health, David Himmelstein and Steffie Woolhandler, as they discuss the reality of the Coronavirus pandemic for the American medical system.

Topics discussed include an examination of the factors that contributed to the medical system’s unreadiness, the burden on hospitals to treat an ever-growing number of affected people, as well as the shortcomings of the health care delivery system that have been revealed (or re-revealed), and what potential medical breakthroughs, if any, might exist on the horizon.

Watch Hunter@Home - The Reality of the Coronavirus Pandemic for the American Medical System below.
