About this Seminar
In the United States, emergency departments (EDs) serve a critical role allowing people to access needed emergent and urgent medical care. However, the current fractured U.S. health system is under significant strain related to multiple factors, including the recent COVID pandemic and health care provider burnout. What are the challenges we are facing and what can we do about them? How can you help your loved one when they need to access emergent medical care?
