What Does the “New Normal” Look Like in Healthcare, Education, and Workplace settings?

View recording on YouTube

Having been sheltering in place since mid-March, our local community is eager to return to some form of normal life outside their homes. But in the absence of an effective vaccine and treatment options, what will the “new normal” look like? What kinds of changes can we expect to see when we seek routine healthcare, return to school (K-12 and higher education), or return to work? This second community virtual town hall event, organized by the Stanford School of Medicine Office of Community Engagement, brings together Stanford researchers, administrators, and local leaders to share their work on preparing the public to return to normalcy safely in the age of coronavirus.  

Panelists:

David Studdert, ScD, MPH, LLB Professor of Medicine and of Law, Stanford University | Nancy Magee, MLIS,  San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools, San Mateo County Office of Education | Megan Mahoney, MD, Chief of Staff, Stanford Health Care; Clinical Professor, Division of Primary Care and Population Health, Stanford Medicine | Russell Furr, MPH, CIH Associate Vice Provost for Environmental Health and Safety, Stanford University
