Since its founding in 2013, the Gitenstein Institute for Health Law & Policy, under the leadership of Prof. Janet L. Dolgin and Melissa Kessler, has a been a leader in shaping the conversation in its field. The Institute has recently presented symposia on topics ranging from the Affordable Care Act, the ethics of health care, medical marijuana, and veterans’ health care concerns.

With these symposia, the Institute builds upon Hofstra Law’s rich tradition of outstanding scholarship. By leveraging the strength of its faculty, the generosity of its benefactors, and its robustness of its partnerships with Hofstra’s Public Health program and the School of Medicine, Institute symposia unite the people and institutions promoting change in real time.
