BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS TO TEAR DOWN THE FENCE, MICHAL GRINSTEIN-WEISS

Social Determinates of health - geography, poverty and access. What does this look like in underprivileged areas and how can people avoid the crushing weight of it all. Has our society built ghettos that make it nearly impossible to escape from? Dr. Michal Grinstein-Weiss serves as the Associate Dean for Policy Initiatives at the Brown School and the Director of Washington University’s Social Policy Institute. An expert in policies that promote social and economic mobility, she will explore how address- ing social determinants can impact communities and improve health outcomes.
