A sneeze in Africa may impact lives in the United States.. That may seem far-fetched -- yet our world is an ever more tightly connected health ecosystem with complex interactions leading to unexpected, and sometimes detrimental outcomes. Embedded in this thriving global health ecosystem are vast efforts to capture data that will quantify and aid in an effort to understand its complex interactions and effects.
To explore and understand these complexities DELSA Global and WGHA invite the diverse stakeholders of the Seattle Global Health, Life Sciences and Technology Communities to join us in sharing data and knowledge about 4 aspects of the health ecosystem, and what can or should be done to manage outcomes.
Confirmed speakers and panelists include:
- Howard Frumkin, Dean, School of Public Health, University of Washington
- David Fleming, Public Health Director and Health Officer — Seattle & King County
- Judy Wasserheit, Vice Chair, Global Health, University of Washington
- Jacqueline Sherris, Vice President, Global Programs, PATH
- Ali Mokdad, Director, Middle Eastern Initiatives, Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, University of Washington
