The “Shaping Tomorrow’s Health: Clinician Perspectives” panel will feature the following Permanente leaders:

1. Nkem Chukwumerije, MD, MPH, FACP, president and executive medical director, The Southeast Permanente Medical Group

3. Richard McCarthy, MD, executive medical director, Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group
4. Linda Tolbert, MD, JD, EdD, MPH, chief executive officer and executive medical director, Washington Permanente Medical Group

The “Accelerating the Food is Medicine Movement” panel will be moderated by Nancy Gin, MD, FACP, executive vice president and chief quality officer, The Permanente Federation; medical director, Quality and Clinical Analysis, Southern California Permanente Medical Group. The session will focus on the unique opportunity health care organizations have today to galvanize on the momentum of the Food is Medicine movement and accelerate work in transforming the way we treat and prevent diet-related disease.
