Correcting the Provider Crisis: Are We doing Anything Right?

President’s Lecture Series Fall 2023

Co-sponsored with Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, a Point32Health company

No one escapes the effects of the provider crisis, whether seeking primary care, needing hospitalization, or providing the care. It has increased the problem of equity in access, has potentially affected the quality of care, and negatively impacted the providers themselves. Don’t miss this chance to explore the effectiveness of the local and national actions being taken, and whether or not we need new ones!
