Foley Hoag presented our first-ever hybrid half-day Summit for Health Equity in which we – through four presentations and panel discussions – provided an overview and analysis of the latest issues surrounding health equity and social determinants of health in the U.S. The Summit convened multi-disciplinary lawyers and leaders across the healthcare vertical for engaging dialogue and education.
