This week, the UNLV Boyd School of Law and the UNLV Health Law Program, a partnership between the law school and the UNLV School of Public Health, presented Health Care Reform and the 2020 Election. This half day conference featured a keynote presentation from the Honorable Michael Leavitt, who served as Secretary of Health and Human Services, as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and for ten years as the Governor of Utah. He was joined by Dr. Arturo Bustamante of UCLA, Dr. Sara Collins of the Commonwealth Fund, and Prof. Allison Hoffman of the University of Pennsylvania. Special thanks to Professor David Orentlicher and Professor Max Gakh, who direct the Health Law Program. Thanks also to our partners the UNLV School of Public Health and the UNLV School of Medicine, and our sponsors, The Valley Health System and United Healthcare.

As we work to mitigate the risk posed by the Coronavirus, I want to thank the law school community for their goodwill and flexibility. Please be well and stay safe.
Best,

Dan
Dean & Richard J. Morgan Professor of Law
