Palm Beach Seminar Series

One of the most effective ways to focus public attention on health issues in need of support is to educate the public about them. Informing people about how these issues affect us all is an important first step toward preventing, and ultimately, eradicating them.

Through programs such as our Palm Beach Lecture Series, the Institute is providing communities with valuable health information, while building support for vital research.
