For the safety and health of everyone, our annual health conference was virtual this year. Health care leaders spoke on topics relevant to our communities in the San Gabriel Valley.

We provided information and education on relevant health care news as well as clinical and technological innovations and developments.

Emanate Health takes pride in putting the needs of our communities first while working to provide exceptional health care services in a safe, compassionate environment.

COVID-19: Becoming a Healthy San Gabriel Valley Now and Beyond

Sohanjeet S. Bassi, MD, Infectious Disease Specialist, Emanate Health
Emanate Health Infectious Disease Control physician, Sohanjeet Bassi, MD, will outline what government leaders, community organizations and the general public can do to remain safe from coronavirus with the arrival of the seasonal flu. This is happening while the pharmaceutical industry races against the clock to develop a COVID-19 vaccine to help hospitals worldwide bring the pandemic to a hopeful end.

As we learn to navigate the changing health care industry as well as the information developing about the novel coronavirus, it is important to have an open line of communication with our leaders, constituents and community members. That is why we will have time between each presentation to respond to questions from participants.
