Using Systems Thinking to Support Community Collective Action in Health Care

Complex social challenges such as housing insecurity, substance use, and adverse childhood experiences play a significant role in health outcomes and are especially impactful for historically marginalized and vulnerable populations. Addressing these issues often requires collaboration beyond traditional health care settings, including community-based solutions and policy-level change. This session will explore how health systems can leverage Systems Thinking to better understand complex challenges and strengthen partnerships with community stakeholders. Participants will learn how Systems Thinking approaches can support collective community action and help drive more effective, sustainable solutions in health care delivery.

Creating Human Blood Vessels to Study Vascular Development and Disease

Blood vessels span all organs and deliver lifesaving oxygen and nutrients to all organs. This talk explores how Dr. Loh and his team have developed methods to create human artery and vein endothelial cells in a Petri dish, starting from pluripotent stem cells. This has revealed new surprises regarding how blood vessels form during embryonic development and how they become corrupted by viral diseases.
