Join us for the Vivek H. Murthy Distinguished Lecture Series on Public Health Leadership in celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Heritage Month.  This is the third in a series of fireside chats and lectures in honor of Dr. Murthy, the 19^th and 21^st Surgeon General of the United States. The goal of the series is to recognize a public health leader whose enduring efforts have made a significant impact on advancing public health. At this meeting, Dr. Murthy will recognize Dr. Dave A. Chokshi, for his leadership in addressing public trust, mental health, misinformation, and health disparities among the AA and NHPI communities.

The event will feature an introduction from Dr. Rena D’Souza, Director of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research at NIH, followed by a conversation between the two panelists moderated by Dr. Monica Webb Hooper, Deputy Director of NIMHD.
