Free online Discussion Thursday July 29, at 7pm

A person’s zip code can be the single best predictor of life expectancy. In the Cleveland area, life expectancy varies by a few years–to more than a decade– depending on where you live. Clearly, “place matters” to health outcomes.

Join other residents from the region, in a virtual conversation, of factors which contribute to this inequity. What would it look like to create and share healthier communities? What solutions will address your health concerns?

From a 90-minute dialogue, participants may gain new insights, and resources, for promoting good health.
