“Healthier: Fifty Thoughts on the Foundations of Population Health” is a collection of essays on the social, economic, and cultural forces that shape population health. The book builds off of two years of contributions to Boston University School of Public Health Dean’s Notes. The voices of SPH students, faculty, staff, and alumni all informed Healthier’s perspective on a range of important public health topics, including climate change, inequality, racism, and the health of LGBT populations.
On Wednesday, January 24, 2018, SPH Dean Sandro Galea held a book talk to continue the discussion on how we can improve health by promoting justice and improving the social, economic, and environmental determinants of well-being. Healthier was published by Oxford University Press in July 2017. This event was hosted by Christine S. Hunter, MED ’80, CAS ’80, Chief Medical Officer, US Office of Personnel Management, BU School of Public Health Dean’s Advisory Board Member.
