Iowa Ideas 2020 replay: Reimagining the Future of Health Care

The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the state's health care system in truly unique ways as elective and preventive care was put on hold for weeks. What did health care systems learn from the pandemic and how does it change how the state's health care system will work going forward? How did health care come together, and how can it be improved? We'll discuss with several administrators from across the Iowa system.

Panelists include: Suresh Gunasekaran, CEO University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, Michelle Niermann, CEO, UnityPoint Health-St. Luke's Hospital; Doug Ommen, Commissioner, Iowa Insurance Division. Moderator: Michaela Ramm, The Gazette.
