While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused massive economic disruptions to nearly all industries, businesses and our healthcare system nationwide, pockets of hope and opportunity are emerging. Experts will discuss how lasting changes in the ways we work, serve the community, access healthcare and use the types of technology available to diagnose and contain the novel coronavirus may have the potential for a robust economic revival across West Virginia.
