Corona virus infects our bodies, but it also infects our homes, communities, and organizations. Public health professionals and health care providers are courageously dealing with the wicked issues of physical wellbeing. Like most times of chaotic transformation, this moment holds tremendous danger and opportunity. We must address the wicked issues that influence how we see, understand, and influence the present and our emerging future. We must choose and act in this moment of complexity.
Members of the HSD Community gather Monday through Friday to inquire into wicked issues emerging from these times.

News anchors and political candidates work from their basements. Spring does not bring Seder, the baseball opener, or graduation.
How are we supposed to make sense of these extraordinary times?
