SESSION DESCRIPTION

Trust is crucial in healthcare, emergency management and public health; if you don’t have it, your job will be incredibly challenging. If your organization doesn’t have it, your job will be even more challenging. Two leaders in trust will discuss how to gain it, build it, and keep it.
