London’s Sir Marmot to Speak at Clark as Part of President’s Lecture
Friday, March 30, 2018
Michael Marmot
The lecture will take place on Wednesday, April 11 at 5 p.m. in the Jefferson Academic Center.
The talk is free and open to the public.
In the lecture, Marmot will explain how policies and interventions need to address the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age; they must not be confined to the health care system. Marmot will make the case that tackling the health gap will require evidence-based action across the whole of society.
