Join the Marquette Law School for “On the Issues: Health Equity in Milwaukee,” on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 12:15 p.m. in Eckstein Hall.
Register online to attend. A light lunch will be available.
The impact of health equity in Milwaukee is significant in determining a person’s quality of life and well-being. Milwaukee has some of the largest disparities between its black and white residents in several categories, including infant mortality, blood lead levels and life expectancy. Organizations are working together to address these issues, but what more can and should be done to ensure all can lead a healthy and fulfilling life?
Derek Mosley, director of the Lubar Center for Public Public Policy Research and Civic Education, will lead a conversation with three panelists:
- Kirsten Johnson, secretary-designee of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services
- Dr. Mark Lodes, chief medical officer for population health and medical education at the Medical College of Wisconsin
- Dr. C. Greer Jordan, Institute for Health Equity at the Medical College of Wisconsin
