What's Really Making Us Sick? Free Dinner and Showing of 'Place Matters'

From the New Mexico Health Equity Working Group: You are invited to a FREE showing of Place Matters from the award winning video Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? The event, sponsored by the NMHEWG, will take place on Tuesday, October 27th, at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, Wells Fargo Theater. FREE dinner at 5:30 PM, video from 6-6:30 PM with discussion after. Families welcome.

Unnatural Causes has won the award for best Science/ Television/Radio/Film program from the National Academies (National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council).

The linkages between education, economic status and health are well documented. The Place Matters segment serves as a good introduction to the series as a whole and looks closely at why one’s address is such a strong indicator of one’s health. We hope that various legislators and APS Board Members will join us for the video and discussion to follow.
