    Columbia Mailman School of Public Health | The Dean's Grand Rounds on the Future of Public Health  Featuring:  Adrienne Hollis, PhD, JD Senior Climate Justice and Health Scientist Union of Concerned Scientists Jacqueline Patterson  Senior Director, Environmental and Climate Justice NAACP Terry McGovern, JD (moderator) Harriet and Robert H. Heilbrunn Professor Population and Family Health at the Columbia University Medical Center Chair, Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health Columbia Mailman School of Public Health  Initiated in 2008, Grand Rounds is a community conversation on the science, education, and practice of public health. The series provides an intellectual space within which to explore national and global public health challenges and the innovative approaches needed to transform the public’s health in the 21st century. COVID-19 has served as a magnifying glass on a broken, structurally racist and unequal health system which falls grievously short of protecting communities of color, the aged and the vulnerable.  It also has highlighted the devastating consequences of our country’s absence of a public health system charged with protecting and elevating health for all.  This year we will deepen our understanding, research, teaching and action on this topic, through our Grand Rounds on the Future of Public Health Series. All events are open to the public. For questions or more information, please contact Lauren Sagnella.  Columbia University makes every effort to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Please notify the office at least 10 days in advance if you require closed captioning, sign-language interpretation or any other disability accommodations.
