Recently I was introduced to the tag line of the Berkana Institute: "Whatever the problem, community is the answer." It resonated with me because I passionately believe it and have experienced it as true. I have spent much of my professional life bringing people with diverse backgrounds and, sometimes, very divergent values and beliefs together around real tables to work together toward common solutions to pressing public health and human services issues. I am very excited and hopeful about the possibility of having similar successes around a virtual table of people interested in and working to prevent and reduce ACES in Philadelphia.
