Community Grand Rounds: Political Determinants of Health Inequities
Free online event. See link below to register.
Please join us to hear health policy expert, Daniel Dawes, JD, executive director of Satcher Health Leadership Institute at the Morehouse School of Medicine, describe the relationship between politics and health on Wednesday, November 17 from 2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. ET.
Dawes is nationally recognized in health care law and policy, leading many efforts to address health inequities affecting vulnerable and underserved populations in the United States. Among his many achievements, Dawes founded and chaired the largest advocacy group focused on developing comprehensive law to restructure the health care system and address inequities. He also helped shape the Affordable Care Act and is the author of important books including the “Political Determinants of Health” and “150 years of Obamacare." Dawes has also been featured on CNN Español, Fox News Latino, National Public Radio, and numerous other national news outlets.
In his presentation, Dawes will explain how political decisions and public policy create community conditions that harm our nation’s health. He will also reveal how such decisions and policies result in polluted water and air, unreliable transportation, unsafe neighborhoods, unhealthy food options, low incomes, and other conditions that create health inequities. He also presents a framework for addressing the systemic barriers that prevent the U.S. from becoming what it could be: the healthiest nation in the world.
