Forever Learning Institute: Solving the Unsolvable: Finding Solutions to Wicked Problems

While there is much we can do to care for our health individually, research still shows that race, socioeconomic status, and ethnic background can profoundly affect a person's experience in health care. Providing quality, accessible and equitable wellness services to everyone is a pervasive concern worldwide. In this panel, we will hear from experts as they share the solution-focused programs, research, and training happening at Duke to address inequities in health and wellness.
