Show guests have included representatives from the CDC and medical companies, educators and innovators, as well as local business leaders, retailers, and government officials. An honest and upbeat dialogue about today’s realities and tomorrow’s developing opportunities, each show showcases the thinkers and explores the thinking that will help us change the conversation.
