CBL Talk Registration: Environmental Health featuring Tonyehn Verkitus

This CBL Talk will feature Tonyehn Verkitus, executive director for Physicians for Social Responsibility Pennsylvania (PSR PA). Environmental factors such as air and water quality are one of many determinants of our health and well-being.  These and other environmental factors can lead to disease and health disparities in the places where people live, work, learn and play.  Join us for a discussion on how existing environmental disparities in communities exposed to a combination of poor environmental quality and social inequities lead to more sickness and disease than you see in wealthier, less polluted communities. 

Lunch will be provided.
