Director Emeritus Steven Woolf at NASEM Workshop on Educational Success

On June 14th, Director Emeritus Dr. Steven Woolf spoke at the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine’s (NASEM) Roundtable on Population Health Improvement’s workshop in Oakland, California.

The workshop–“School Success: An Opportunity for Population Health Action“–brought together leaders in medicine and education to explore how the health sector can be used to help improve educational outcomes. The workshop highlighted the intersection of these two fields and how each contributes to the health and wellbeing of communities.
