Appetite for Life: Better Health Outcomes Now and for the Future

What if we can have better health outcomes, at a lower cost, now and for the future? Seriously.

Health is driven by four factors: clinical (10%), social (20%), genetics (30%), and behavior (40%). And yet, over 80% of our current health spending is on clinical services. The result? A declining life span and the highest cost per capita in the world. None of us working in public health or medicine should be satisfied with that result.

Join us as Katie Kaney, author of Both/And: Medicine & Public Health Together, discusses these issues and more with NRI’s Martin Kohlmeier, MD, PhD, professor of Nutrition.

This discussion is Friday, March 10 at noon on zoom.
