Huntley to share an insider's view of navigating a citywide public health crisis and the evolving realities of public health leadership in 2025.

Their conversation highlights lessons learned from the frontlines, both in leading crisis response and in the broader struggle for advocacy, trust, and progress in public health at a time of national turbulence and resource disruption.
