Holly Humphrey, MD, President of the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, commented on the groups that focused on medical education and the health workforce.

Nathaniel Stinson, PhD, Director of the Division of Scientific Programs at the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, said he was struck by the small groups’ interest in working at the community level.

Laurie Zephyrin, MD, MPH, MBA, Vice President, Health Care Delivery System Reform at the Commonwealth Fund, cited cross-cutting themes about re-imagining health systems and engaging communities.
