The Hastings Center, a research institute focused on bioethics, has organized a two-day summit for January on health equity.
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a surge in health technologies such as telehealth and devices to monitor patients’ health at home during 2020 and 2021. Our panel of experts will discuss some of the trends in health information technology and what we’re likely to see in 2022. What will remain part of our lives, and what didn’t make the cut? |

Journalists continue to work from home as media organizations repeatedly postpone calling employees back to the office. When the pandemic finally subsides, what will newsrooms look like? Will journalists continue to work from home, at least for part of the week? How will employers make sure offices are safe for the next pandemic? The Press Club of Long Island, a chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, will host a panel discussion in January to explore these questions. Panelists will include a union leader, a news executive and an infectious disease specialist.
This webinar series addresses four issues that affect population health scientists who wish to conduct public facing science. Following each webinar, there will be small group discussions focused on specific skills. AHCJ’s Freelance Committee is starting up a monthly series of informal Zoom sessions intended to build skills and community. These Lunch and Learn get-togethers will take place at 1 p.m. ET every third Thursday. Each session will focus on a specific skills-building theme. No slides, just informal meetups where we can spend time together and learn from one another. Sessions will not be recorded or archived.

Nearly 90% of older adults want to remain in their home or community as they age, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center. Aging at home, or in the community, can help reduce health costs and improve outcomes. But it also requires more affordable housing, additional home and community services, better integration of these supports in the health system, and advanced planning by seniors and their families to create a safe, suitable environment. For some, it may also mean finding a different community-based solution. Webcast panelists will discuss “aging in the right place,” what it means for the future of health care, and what older adults and families can do now to get ready for the future. |
