On Thursday evening, December 9, Kendal will host a program via Zoom, “Politics and Pandemics” with Professor Jeffry Frieden and Dr. Thomas Frieden.
Why has public health become a political football in the U.S.? Why has global public health become the focus of international conflict? The Friedens, sons of Kendal resident Nancy Frieden, will discuss these important questions.
Tom Frieden, a physician with advanced training in internal medicine, infectious disease, public health, and epidemiology, is one of the world’s top experts on health policy and administration. He served as Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Commissioner of the New York City Health Department, and currently is President and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives.
Jeff Frieden, Professor of Government and Chair of the Government Department at Harvard, specializes in the politics of international monetary and financial relations and is the author of numerous books and articles on the politics of international economic issues.
Residents will get Zoom invitations in order to tune into this important program.
