U.S. Health in International Perspective: Shorter Lives, Poorer Health
When:
Wednesday, April 10 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern/1:00 p.m. Central/Noon Mountain/11:00 a.m. Pacific
Who:
- Steven H. Woolf, Virginia Commonwealth University
- Laudan Aron, The Urban Institute
What:
Although the United States spends more on health care than any other nation, a growing body of research shows that Americans are in poorer health and live shorter lives than people in many other high-income countries. Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, a new report from the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine synthesizes available research, taking an in-depth look at this disadvantage in health and lifespan. On this webinar, we heard from the report’s editors about key findings and discussed implications for the work of health grantmakers.
