Event Description

Princeton Seminar on Global Health: "Beyond the Doctor's Office: Improving Health Outcomes in the U.S. through Non-Medical Services"

The Princeton Seminar on Global Health convened a panel of experts to discuss innovative solutions for delivering healthcare to underserved populations in the US. The panelists addressed social determinants of health, exploring how non-medical “wrap-around” services such as psychosocial support, food banks, housing assistance and child care can be leveraged to expand access to health care.

Panelists brought a diverse wealth of expertise from government, academia, NGOs and the private sector to the healthcare discussion:

  • Heather Howard, Director of the State Health Reform Assistance Network and Lecturer at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School
  • Terri Jackson, Senior Vice President of Rabin Martin
  • Patricia Doykos, Director of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation
