Dr. Shannon Zenk Invites You To Attend “All Health Is Not Created Equal: Where You Live Matters”

Maybe the saying shouldn’t be “you are what you eat,” but rather “you are where you eat.” Social and economic factors, such as where someone lives, have powerful influences on people’s health. This association holds true not only for access to healthy food but also for other things such as housing conditions and green space availability. Such factors impact risk of exposure and susceptibility to many diseases and conditions, including COVID-19.

Dr. Shannon Zenk, Director of the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), NIH, will deliver the 2020 Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Therapies. She will explore the science behind social determinants of health and demonstrate how vital effective integrative or multilevel approaches are when addressing health and health inequities. Register to hear Dr. Zenk speak on Wednesday, December 9 at noon ET: https://bit.ly/Straus2020.

This lecture is supported by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health with a generous gift from Bernard and Barbro Osher.
