LWV Rochester Fall Program & Luncheon

10:00 social time
10:30 program
11:30 box lunch
Do you think health is determined only in a doctor’s office? Think again. Many factors, such as housing stability and poverty, can affect one’s health. Systemic racism also negatively affects the social and economic conditions necessary for people to be healthy in our communities.
Recently, the Olmsted County Board of Commissioners accepted the final recommendations from a joint study of race and racism as a public health issue, led by two of its advisory groups. Work will begin this fall to review the recommendations and develop an implementation plan.
Join us to hear from two volunteers who contributed to the recommendations and two Olmsted County staff who are a part of the county’s efforts. There will be time for questions. Bring a friend who wants to learn! The final report is available online at this link.
The program is free and open to the public, but please register using this link.
When registering, you will have the option to purchase a box lunch provided by Great Harvest. Sandwich choices are turkey, roast beef, or Harvest Veggies. Each lunch comes with a sandwich, chips, cookie, and bottle of water.
