Video Summary

In this session, the speakers discuss the intersection between business and public health and the importance of building partnerships to achieve common goals. Trust in science and public health has eroded in recent years, but businesses and NGOs are seen as a more unifying force in society. There is a trend towards implementing business policies that benefit employees and society, such as wellness programs and strategies to reduce pollution. Businesses are forming coalitions to promote a better, more equitable world. The speakers, Dr. Bob Carr and Mr. Bill Novelli, share their experiences in bridging the gap between business and public health. Dr. Acharya also provides the perspective of a new generation of preventive medicine physicians. The session emphasizes the need for business and public health professionals to work together and leverage each other's capabilities to address challenges in health and wellness. The key takeaway is that there are opportunities for preventive medicine professionals to engage with businesses and make a positive impact on population health. The audience is encouraged to take action and find ways to build partnerships and trust with businesses to achieve common goals in health promotion and disease prevention.
