Addressing Health Disparities: Reducing Inequalities in the Healthiest State

On April 7^th the Vermont Public Health Association (VtPHA) will be hosting an open forum “Addressing Health Disparities: Reducing Inequalities in the Healthiest State” from 5:30 – 8:00 at the Capital Plaza in Montpelier.

The newly released state and county health rankings place Vermont again as one of the healthiest states.  A closer look however, shows that health is not equally shared in all parts of the state with persistent health inequities that are largely preventable.  We hope you will join us and spread the word to others who might be interested in taking a closer look at the problem and the actions necessary to address this inequity.

The forum is free to VtPHA members and $15 for others.  To register http://www.vtpha.org/index.shtml
