Today I had the privilege of attending a Health Affairs briefing at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. In the photo is Alan Weil, Editor-in-chief of Health Affairs. He, along with 4 panels of researchers/principal investigators talked about this particularly special June 2016 issue that focuses on Behavioral Health.

What was striking was the statement  from one of the principal investigators -- "trauma informed care is critical'"  And there it is again...at a National platform, at a place where healthcare and health policy intersects.
