Lessons Learned Today: Leave Room for Hope
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Some of you have seen my prior publications in these pages. I’ve discussed the need to refocus on prevention to mitigate the burden of chronic diseases, the severe dangers posed by misinformation and disinformation, the shame we are not more energized to reduce risk for Alzheimer’s disease, the lack of support for public health through the pandemic and to prepare for future challenges, the crime of shortages in government funding for programs like Obesity Prevention that don’t reach every state, and other related subjects. One key area is the need to highlight the reality of social determinants of health and the impact they have on physical, mental and economic health in underserved populations.
