Watch the March 22, 2021, DLSPH special online event "Reimagining Aging and Restoring Trust in the Wake of COVID-19," brought to you by the Boehm Lectures on Public Health and Healthcare and in collaboration with the Institute for Pandemics.

Watch the panel discuss topics and themes that are focused on aging and health, the standards and models of care as we age, healthcare worker burnout, the roles of families and caregivers, and many other issues and failures faced through the COVID-19 pandemic. Key issues explored by the panelists included:

• What could our long-term care system look like moving forward?
• How do you sustain healthy aging in your own home and community?
• How do we empower caregivers and help with healthcare worker burnout?
