Putting Health at the Heart of Climate Action: POLITICO Executive Conversation with Bechara Choucair, MD, SVP and Chief Health Officer, Kaiser Permanente First, please join us for a conversation on the outlook of human health in face of one of the greatest challenges of our time — climate change. The discussion with Dr. Choucair will be led by Alexander Gaffney, MS, RAC, Regulatory Policy and Intelligence Leader, Agency IQ, a research division of POLITICO. Immediately following, stay tuned for Global Impact: Climate Change and Our Health, presented by POLITICO.

Balbus, MD, MPH, Director, Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Victor J. Dzau, MD, President, National Academy of Medicine Sarah E.
