To celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Heritage Month, join us for the Dr. Vivek H. Murthy Distinguished Lecture Series on Public Health Leadership. This is the fourth in a series of lectures in honor of Dr. Murthy, the 19th and 21st United States Surgeon General. 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 upcoming event, Dr. Murthy will recognize Dr. Hahrie Han, Professor and Inaugural Director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, for her leadership in exploring social connections with health wellbeing.

The event will feature an introduction from NIH Leadership, followed by a conversation between Drs. Murthy and Han moderated by NIMHD Deputy Director Dr. Monica Webb Hooper.

Individuals who need Sign Language Interpreting and/or a reasonable accommodation to participate in this event should contact Dr. Christina Liu at liuch2@mail.nih.gov. Requests should be made at least five business days before the date of the event.
