Calling all students! Tomorrow is the Student Book Giveaway. Make room in your suitcases and make your way to the entrance of the Exhibit Hall, 8/12 at 12:30 p.m.

4 in 10 pregnant patients and 1 in 4 people use Medicaid. Shifting access among such a large population will have implications for the health of the entire population (and the HC institutions we rely upon). A major population health topic for demographers to prioritize. #ASA2025

Today is Workshop Day! Plus a late session on Social Determinants of Health. #MedSoc #ASAChicago #ReimaginingHealth
