From Populations to Individual Patients: Bridging the Public Health and Clinical Care Divide
This session is a recorded presentation from ACLM’s LM2025 Annual Conference, featuring leading experts and timely, clinically relevant content in lifestyle medicine.
In this dynamic opening keynote, 17th U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, FACS, leads a powerhouse panel of national leaders at the intersection of public health and clinical care. Together with Eduardo Sanchez, MD, MPH, FAAFP (Chief Medical Officer of Prevention at American Heart Association), Diana Ramos, MD, MPH, MBA (California State Surgeon General), Josie Bidwell, DNP, RN, FNP-C, DipACLM, FACLM (founder of a groundbreaking LM center in Mississippi), and Erin Brackbill, MD, FAAP, DipABLM, FACLM (pediatric LM leader and expert), this session explores how to unify community-based prevention and clinical practice to transform health outcomes across the spectrum of care for all ages.
The panel will explore how lifestyle medicine can be used as an effective framework by systems, clinics, and communities to make the healthy choice the easy choice. Expect bold ideas, real-world examples, and a call to action for clinicians, policymakers, and community leaders alike.
This course expires November 23, 2029 at 11:59 PM PST.
