Highlights from the March 21 event. Maternal Mortality in the US- We Can and Must Do Better for Our Women & Mothers. The United States has the highest rate of maternal mortality in the developed world. African American women in particular are experiencing this statistic at much higher rates than other racial and ethnic groups. What can be done to reverse the course on this tragic  reality for so many women and families in the U.S.? How do health care delivery systems contribute to the problem? How can they be part of the solution? What is the role of policy? What are the roles of race, racism and bias?

From the spring semester February 7 event. Fake health news:  Trustworthy medical advice in the digital era. Can you trust the health information you’re getting on the web? How much should you base your health decisions on it? How can you know what information is accurate?

Dementia 101 - Dealing with the disease from the family perspective: Dementia may seem like a long way off, but disease, high blood pressure, stroke or brain trauma can cause loss of mental function, no matter your age. And what if a parent starts to show symptoms of early onset dementia? Will you be the one caring for them? And is there anything you can do now to keep your own brain healthy and avoid dementia when you are older?
