INSIGHTS

"ZIP code is one of the top three social health determinants. Where you live affects everything from community resources to whether you can exercise safely to your daily access to healthy food."

Dr. Pedro Greer Jr.

Chairman, Department of Medicine, Family Medicine and Community Health at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at Florida International University

US News & World Report

"Changing the narrative on opportunity and public health interview. Dr Besser discusses his Foundation’s efforts to build a culture of health in America, why that effort requires a national shift in mindset, and why he still believes that working in public health is really about working to change the world." - CDC Foundation
