Health Equity Impacts of COVID-19 and How We're Fighting Back

August 18, 2020

5:00-6:30pm PT

The keynote speaker for this event, Dr. Josh Ofman, is the Chief Medical Officer for GRAIL, whose mission it is to detect cancer early, when it can be cured. Dr. Ofman, an accomplished industry expert in health policy with deep experience integrating innovation into healthcare systems, will highlight GRAIL's Multi-Cancer Early Detection test.

Moderated by Armand Carr, formerly "the Voice" on KBLX and founder of All Tied Up, the keynote presentation will be followed by a panel featuring Dr. Mitesh Popat, CEO of Marin Community Clinic, and Dr. Irene Lo, East Bay general surgeon, to field questions on the intersection between health equity and cancer. We also will be honoring Assemblymember Rob Bonta for his health equity policy work in the Bay Area.
