CDC at the Crossroads

Limited national authority. Archaic data systems. A broken budget process. A distrustful public. COVID-19 revealed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the gold standard for global public health agencies, is in crisis. The CDC must be strengthened before the next crisis hits—but what will it take? Former CDC directors will gather to examine what has gone wrong and what needs to be done to rebuild the CDC’s capacity and restore its credibility. Moderated by STAT Executive Editor Rick Berke.
