You are invited to be a critical voice in this national inquiry.
As our national health system struggles to meet the needs of larger and older populations, a heightened emphasis on disease prevention and wellness has emerged. Healthy People 2020 emphasizes that conditions in the places people live, learn, work, and play impact a wide range of health risks and outcomes.
At the same time, evidence continues to mount demonstrating the positive and measurable impacts the arts have on individual and community health - yet their applications are under-investigated and inconsistently recognized in the public health sector.
Utilizing the role of higher education, this research synthesis workshop will bridge the arts and public health sectors, through strategic discovery, collaboration, translation, and action to create stronger and healthier communities through the arts.
It's time to join together to shape the future.
