A Special Complimentary Presentation
Now more than ever, loneliness is a growing public health concern as communities require social distancing and self-isolation to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Join us for a discussion with Dr. Vivek Murthy, the 19th Surgeon General of the United States, around the long-term impact of this loneliness on students, even as we consider the implications of reopening campuses. Dr. Murthy covers these topics in his new book, Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World.
Dr. Murthy will be joined by Dr. Cathy Hall, Head of School at Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, Massachusetts. Together, they will explore the dangers of loneliness and the lasting impact it can have on our health and our students.
You will:
- hear how loneliness impacts not only our health, but also how it affects children's experiences at home and at school;
- discover the complex forces that contribute to loneliness, especially for young people;
- discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has compounded this issue; and
- consider these elements as you create your plan to reopen your campus and bring students, faculty, and staff back together.
This webinar is great for:
School Heads, Leadership Teams, Reopening Task Force members, health and wellness leadership, school counselors, and directors for safety or security.
Dr. Vivek H. Murthy
Former Surgeon General of the United States, Author
Dr. Vivek H. Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States from December 15, 2014 to April 21, 2017. As America’s Doctor, Dr. Murthy created initiatives to tackle our country’s most urgent public health issues. He chose areas of focus that were raised by people across America during his inaugural listening tour. Highlights included:
- Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health - the nation’s first Surgeon General’s Report presenting the latest scientific data on addiction and issuing a call to action to the nation to recognize addiction as a chronic illness and not a moral failing.
- TurnTheTideRx: The Surgeon General’s Call to End the Opioid Crisis - In 2016, Dr. Murthy sent a letter to 2.3 million health care professionals urging them join a movement to tackle the opioid epidemic. This was first time in the history of the office that a Surgeon General had issued a letter calling the medical profession to action.
- Surgeon General’s Report on E-cigarette Use Among Youth - First federal report on e-cigarettes, highlighting the health risks of e-cigarette use for youth.
- Step It Up! The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Promote Walking and Walkable Communities - Launched efforts to increase physical activity in communities across the country, including a two-week public-private partnership with Fitbit that engaged over 600,000 people to take an industry record-setting 60 billion steps.
- Get Vaccinated with the Surgeon General and Elmo: Partnered with Elmo in a popular video that demystifies vaccines for parents and children
In 2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and isolation as prevalent problems that have profound implications for health, productivity, and happiness. Partnering with the Veterans Health Administration, he led a convening that brought together leading thinkers, researchers, and practitioners to identify scientifically proven ways we can cultivate emotional well-being and fitness to help us thrive among the most challenging circumstances.
In addition to his role as America’s Doctor, as the Vice Admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, Dr. Murthy commanded a uniformed service of 6,600 public health officers, serving the most underserved and vulnerable populations in over 800 locations domestically and abroad. He worked with thousands of Commissioned Corps officers to strengthen the Corps and protect the nation from Ebola and Zika and to respond to the Flint water crisis, major hurricanes, and frequent health care shortages in rural communities.
Dr. Murthy’s commitment to medicine and health began early in life. The son of immigrants from India, he discovered the art of healing watching his parents - Hallegere and Myetriae Murthy - treat patients like family in his father’s medical clinic in Miami, Florida.
Dr. Murthy received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard and his M.D. and M.B.A. degrees from Yale. He completed his internal medicine residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and later joined Harvard Medical School as faculty in internal medicine.
Dr. Murthy resides in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Dr. Alice Chen, and their two young children.

If several of us at the school want to attend the webinar, do we each have to register and pay?
If two or more people at your school want to attend the webinar in the same location (for example, in a conference room with one monitor), then you only need to register and pay for one person who will receive the email and link. If you have people in remote locations, each person will need to register and pay separately. Essentially, a registration and payment gives you one link to the webinar.
Will I receive a reminder about the webinar I’ve just purchased?
Yes. A message will be sent to the email address you registered one or two days before the run date. You will receive a link to the webinar as well as PDF slides of the presentation you will be attending.
What happens if I miss my webinar? Will the fee be refunded?
If you’ve missed your scheduled webinar, don’t panic—you will automatically receive a link to the recorded webinar, barring any technical difficulties that prevent us from recording the session.
Will I receive a recorded version of the webinar after it concludes?
Yes, a recording of your webinar will be sent 24–48 hours after the recording concludes.
What if I have questions about the presentation? Whom do I contact?
You will be able to type questions, thoughts, and concerns in the communication box throughout the webinar. Each webinar allows 15 minutes for answering questions.
