A medical doctor talking about healthy communities? Say what? You read right. Richard Jackson, MD, MPH is a renaissance doctor. He is championing what no one in the medical community has dared to examine: that the way our environments are built has an impact on the incidence of obesity, diabetes, cancer, asthma and other diseases.
PBS is airing tonight a four hour documentary, “Designing Health Communities.”
What can we do, as community members, to change our environment to make it easier to be healthy? Watch this program. It will get you thinking.
The more we think, the healthier we become! Oh, and don’t forget to shake it and move it today.
