Listen to this powerful interview with U.S Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, one of our amazing 2023 Gala Honorees, as he speaks with deep wisdom and expertise about this moment in history and how to help our children through it, as well as touching on the epidemic of loneliness and the importance of social connections.

We are grateful to Dr. Vivek Murthy as he beautifully articulates CMOM’s core values of encouraging empathy and nurturing the next generation of creative global citizens.
