Hello Health Care Advocates,

Here at Utah Health Policy Project, preparations are underway for our annual Health Care Solutions for Utahns conference, which will be held virtually on Tuesday, January 12th from 8:30am-2:30pm

We are excited to announce Dr. Julie Morita as our morning keynote speaker. Dr. Morita has decades of experience working in public health and was recently appointed to President-elect Biden’s COVID-19 Task Force.  

"Julie Morita, MD, is executive vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), where she oversees all programming, policy, research and communications activities. Before joining RWJF, Morita helped lead the Chicago Department of Public Health for nearly two decades, first as a medical director, then as chief medical officer. In 2015, she was appointed to the department’s top position, commissioner. In that role, she oversaw the public health needs of 2.7 million residents in the nation’s third largest city."
