Spotlight Health Sneak Peek: In less than three weeks Jon Batiste, bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, will join Aspen Institute President Walter Isaacson on stage. The two New Orleans natives will converse about music, health, and well-being… Kathleen Sebelius, former US Health and Human Services Secretary, will talk with Judy Woodruff (anchor and managing editor of the PBS NewsHour) about her role in implementing the Affordable Care Act, and the law’s impact since its 2010 passage… Later, Woodruff will lead a separate discussion about how the American health care system is continuing its historic transformation... TED prize winner Raj Panjabi will share his harrowing story of escaping civil war in his home country of Liberia — when he was just nine years old. The experience led him to co-found Last Mile Health, a global health security organization, in his 20s. Last Mile delivers lifesaving care to the world’s most remote communities. Don’t miss out on these, and many more, exciting presentations! A limited number of passes are still available for Spotlight Health, which runs June 22-25. |
