Four years ago this Sunday, then-Gov. Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency in Massachusetts due to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic.

The months and years that followed pushed all of us, especially our medical institutions, to the brink. What did we learn from it all? What did we get right or wrong? And how prepared are we for the next pandemic to come?

Radio Boston reflects with esteemed health care leaders and looks forward to an uncertain future.

This program aired on March 8, 2024.
