Leadership Retreat
RECLAIMING HEALTH IN 2021
May 21, 2021 | 1:00 – 5:00 pm PT
The COVID-19 pandemic changed life as we know it in 2020, yet this year will prove even more consequential.
Decisions today will decide health care’s future for decades to come. At a time that demands interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative approaches, and cutting-edge science, Stanford Medicine is poised to lead a better, more equitable, and preventive health care system.
AGENDA
1:25 – 2:00 pm
Preparing for an Uncertain Future
Amid a global pandemic, the future has never been murkier – or filled with more opportunity. In a fireside chat with Dean Lloyd Minor, Regina Dugan will reflect on her career – including leadership roles as the former Director of DARPA and VP of Engineering-Advanced Technology and Projects at Google – discuss how hardship has historically driven transformative change, and share keys for catalyzing a movement that meets this moment.
