America's Chronic Disease Crisis, a Panel Discussion | The Pandemic Puzzle: Lessons from COVID-19

More than one in two U.S. adults lives with a chronic health condition -- diseases that disproportionately impact communities of color. It is a reality that has made COVID-19 especially devastating in America. Addressing a health crisis of this magnitude demands unprecedented action -- with a focus that extends beyond medicine to get at the roots of health inequity and illness. What are some of the initial steps our country must take to begin achieving progress?
