Healthwatch with Dr. Wen: What is the future of public health policy in wake of 2024's elections?

from Midday · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore

On today's Midday Healthwatch, our monthly conversations about public health with Dr. Leana Wen, we discuss the future of public health policy as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to begin his second term. Given his administration's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic during his first term, what can we expect in the case of a future health crisis? And what will the fate of agencies like the FDA or CDC be? Wen will answer your questions about your health concerns, including bird flu, COVID-19 and more. Wen was the Health Commissioner of Baltimore City from 2014 to 2018. In addition to being a columnist on health matters for the Washington Post, she also writes on medical topics for CNN, and she serves as a scholar at George Washington University and the Brookings Institution.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
