An Inspiring Evening

Tonight the Population Health Forum was thrilled to be the guests of Meaningful Movies, a weekly community event organized by Wallingford Neighbors for Peace and Justice (link to their website)! We were able to screen a segment of the film Unnatural Causes... Is Inequality Making Us Sick? with over one hundred attendees. We had wonderful, engaging, and inspiring conversations after the film. Here are some helpful links for those who attended and want to learn more (or those who missed the event!)


Unnatural Causes Website: Summary of the series, video clips of each segment, toolkits for action in your community, and much, much more.

Several people asked about the graphs we displayed that showed where the U.S. stands compared to the rest of the world in terms of income inequality, health care spending, child poverty rates, and life expectancy (i.e. the "Health Olympics"!). The graphs were also from the Unnatural Causes website, but a direct link is here. They also have several other interactive activities and resources you should take a look at.

Thanks for a wonderful evening!
