DESCRIPTION:Designing Healthy Communities: Uniting the Missions and Pe

 hard Jackson, MD, MPH\n\n Please join us for this interactive Web For
 um\n\n\n\n\n\n Wednesday, October 12\n11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Pacific Da

 /publichealthinstitute/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=967453820\n \n \nRichard 
 J. Jackson, MD, MPH, has dedicated his career to raising the public's 
 consciousness about how we design the built environment and implicatio
 ns for health equity and to address and prevent many of the nation's d
 evastating childhood and adult health concerns. This Web Forum offers 
 a chance to learn first-hand from this expert about the root causes of
  our malaise and how healthy community designs can be achieved by plan
 ners, designers, and community leaders working together. The session i
 s also a unique opportunity to meet the author, as Dr. Jackson's book,
  Designing Healthy Places, will be released in October, 2011, and a pu
 blic television documentary based on his work will be aired early in 2
 012.\n \nHealthy people and a healthy environment are inseparable, ac
 cording to Dr. Jackson, a professor at UCLA and former Director of the
  Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s National Center for
  Environmental Health. It is possible, Dr. Jackson believes, to create
  communities around people, not vehicles. The design and construction 
 of the built environment have broad implications for all our health. H
 ealth promotion can occur at all scales of the built environment, incl
 uding buildings, communities and global infrastructure. The disabled, 
 poor and other disadvantaged groups may benefit most from built enviro
 nment improvements. These improvements require partnerships among urba
 n planners, engineers, architects, developers, public health practitio
 ners and communities.\n \nUrban planning and public health both aim t
 o improve human well-being, emphasize needs assessment and service del
 ivery, manage complex social systems, focus at the population level, a
 nd rely on community-based participatory methods. Both fields focus on
  the needs of vulnerable populations. Integration of these fields is e
 ssential in restoring and enhancing the health and vitality of the nat
 ion's places and people.\n \nView Invitation http://t.co/DHWPQwyM  Vi
