The New Jersey Commissioner of Health, Dr. Kaitlan Baston, will discuss state-level innovations that can scale nationally and even globally to address the nation’s top causes of death in young people, up to age 44: overdose, suicide, and homicide. It will take innovation, outside the box thinking, and agility at scale that public-private partnerships can offer to make an impact. This will be followed by a panel discussion of state and national-level experts harnessing the power of technology to address a nation in crisis.
