The inaugural Milken Institute Public Health Summit – March 1-2 in Washington, D.C. – convened 500 leaders from government, universities, industry, research centers and philanthropy to focus on the most urgent topics in public health and help forge global collaborations to solve them. The first day, hosted at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, centered on the role of public health schools. The second day featured dozens of panels, talks and private sessions on topics including chronic diseases, antibiotic resistance, big data, access to health services and aging.
CEO Michael Klowden told participants, “The goal of the Institute’s Center for Public Health is to do in the area of public health what FasterCures has done for medical research. We want to bring people together, spark ideas and insights, and help foster effective collaboration. We want to make prevention as important a priority as discovering cures.”
