Rethinking Urban Health
In this talk, Stacy Tessler Lindau, MD, MAPP'02, will describe the ambitious plan to transform Chicago's South Side into a model of urban health that is stimulating similar efforts in the US and abroad.
The absence of coordinated system of health care is aggravated by factors such as outdated civil infrastructure, under-education, violent crime, and high unemployment. An alternative, asset-based view of these communities, generated in part by local students, is revealing a wealth of resources—businesses, proprietors, civic leaders, community organizations, health care providers and committed residents—that can be leveraged for good health, community vitality, and even business innovation.
