Abstract

COVID-19 has fundamentally changed how society delivers health care, provides services, and cares for and educates our children. Entrenched problems that seem insurmountable are laid bare for all to see as we weather the pandemic. We cannot afford to tinker around the edges anymore. We must be creative, innovative, and bold to address systemic issues that impact our most under-resourced communities.
