Join us for Where you live can hinder or contribute to good health. According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lack of access to health care accounts for only about 10 percent of total mortality in the United States. Much of the rest is explained by environmental conditions, social and economic factors, and health behaviors. How do community factors affect health? And what is being done in St. Louis communities to promote better health at the neighborhood level? Join us for a conversation about creating healthy and active communities with Ann Mack, executive director of Trailnet. The conversation will be led by Dr. Teresa Guess, professor of sociology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
