Steve Heilig and Michael Lerner

Trained at five University of California campuses in public health, epidemiology, medical ethics, addiction, economics, environmental sciences, and other disciplines, Steve Heilig’s work includes positions at the San Francisco Marin Medical Society, California Pacific Medical Center, UCSF, and as co-editor of the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics. He has served on many organizational boards and appointed commissions, and is a trained hospice worker. He is a music festival emcee, and widely published essayist and book and music critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, Huffington Post, and many other publications. His undergraduate honors thesis was about the ever-growing threat of pandemics, and thus in these times his interests have come “full circle.”
