Instructor: Alex Jahangir, Moderated by John Seigenthaler

DR ALEX JAHANGIR, orthopedic surgeon and USN parent, was the chair of the Metro Nashville Coronavirus Task Force during the pandemic, and he led Nashville’s response to Covid and communication with Tennesseans about the health of the state. Working with, and sometimes forced to wrestle with, a state and federal government that often seemed at odds with public safety, Jahangir has written a book, with former Chicago Tribune journalist and writer Katie Seigenthaler, about his experience; Hot Spot: A Doctor’s Diary From the Pandemic. This presentation will touch on his work reaching out to immigrant and minority communities, his partnership with Meharry Medical College, and finding solutions with an often oppositional public and state government during a years-long crisis. The discussion will be moderated by acclaimed former NBC news anchor and journalist JOHN SEIGENTHALER.
