You are invited to participate in the next Medical Center Hour, "Quality, Disparities, and Equity: How Does Value-Based Care Narrow the Gap?" on Wednesday, April 27.

The twin pandemics of 2020 cast into sharp relief the persistent challenges of achieving high-quality care to all persons and communities in American society, particularly in rural and urban communities with high social vulnerability. The COVID-19 pandemic also underscored the weaknesses of fee-for-service reimbursement in the pursuit of that goal. This presentation examines the most recent trends in healthcare delivery innovation for underserved populations, highlighting the progress, the perils, and the vast frontier of what’s possible in American medicine.
