Congratulations to former Surgeon General Jerome Adams on releasing an amazing report on how community health impacts economic prosperity in the United States.
I was fortunate enough to get to know him during the 2015 healthcare crisis in Indiana. We were able to partner with our community to find actionable community based solutions that empowered people resulting in our ultimate success.
When community inequities are addressed—increasing access to health and opportunity—everyone benefits.
Personal responsibility matters as we know that lifestyle choices drive our nation’s increased burden of disease, disability, and death.
