Join us to celebrate the launch of, Fragmented: A Doctor’s Quest to Piece Together American Health Care from the publisher W.W. Norton with a reading and discussion with the author about how pervasive cracks in the health care system cost us time, energy, and lives―and how we can fix them.

She is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Primary Care and Population Health in the Department of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
