This Public Health Grand Rounds will look at chronic disease prevention and management through the lens of public health and community-based health care. Effective public health practice models, interdisciplinary approaches to managing chronic disease in community settings and the Affordable Care Act will be discussed.

Our keynote speaker is Dr. Bobbie Berkowitz, Dean and Mary O’Neil Mundinger Professor of Nursing at Columbia University School of Nursing and Senior Vice President of the Columbia University Medical Center.
