OAKLAND, Calif., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — National health care leaders from Kaiser Permanente and the American College of Physicians will present a free Permanente Live webinar on Thursday, July 2, 2026, to explore how clinicians can stay grounded in evidence, navigate conflicting guidance, and maintain patient trust in an increasingly complex health care environment.

Amid rising misinformation, deepening public mistrust in science, shifting federal policy, and the rapid evolution of clinical research, physicians today face mounting pressure to make high-stakes decisions while preserving patient trust and protecting time to focus on patients. Delivering clear, evidence-based guidance increasingly requires new strategies to identify reliable sources of information, respond to uncertainty with confidence, and focus on what matters most: caring for patients.

This webinar will address timely questions about public skepticism, the evolving role of medical associations and states, and what health care leaders can do to reduce confusion for both physicians and patients.

Who:

• Jason M. Goldman, MD, MACP, immediate past president, American College of Physicians; internal medicine physician
• Letitia Bridges, MD, MBA, executive vice president and chief quality officer, The Permanente Federation
• Stephen Parodi, MD, executive vice president, The Permanente Federation (moderator)

What:

“Evidence under pressure: Medical excellence in an era of misinformation.” Webinar attendees will learn:

• Where physicians look for trusted guidance as confidence in federal agencies shifts
• What’s driving public skepticism and how physicians can approach conversations with patients
• Steps federal institutions can take to regain the medical community’s trust

When:

• Thursday, July 2, 2025
• 10:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. ET
