Prior, Beam served as acting Secretary of Health for Pennsylvania. In this capacity, she reformulated and strengthened Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 vaccination enterprise, elevating the Commonwealth from 49th to 8th in the country for COVID-19 vaccination rate in three months.
In her presentation titled "Balancing Act: The Crucial Interplay of Public and Private Sectors in Health Care," Beam will delve into the intricate web of health care in the United States and explore the indispensable relationship between the public and private sectors. She will also discuss how the two sectors’ collaboration, often described as a delicate balancing act, impacts access, quality and affordability of health care services for millions of Americans.
