Tri-County
Health Department joins Rocky Mountain PBS in promoting the powerful
public health series "Unnatural Causes - Is Inequality
Making Us Sick?"
Unnatural
Causes investigates the sources of our
huge and alarming socioeconomic and racial inequities in health. This
four-hour series sifts through the evidence that suggests that there
is more to our ill health than bad habits or unlucky
genes. The social environment in which we are born, live and work profoundly
affects our well-being and longevity.
This special will be broadcast
nationally on four consecutive Thursdays - March 27, April 3, April 10 and April
17 from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Rocky Mountain PBS.

This
series has been conceived as part of an ambitious communications and
public impact campaign conducted with leading public health, policy and
community-based organizations. The campaign aims to use the series and
companion materials to help reframe the national debate over health.
It will suggest a new and hopeful approach to tackling health
inequities, one that links our individual aspirations for better health
not only to medical interventions but to social and economic justice.
The good news is that if bad health
comes from policy decisions that we as a society have made, then we can
make other decisions. Some countries already have, and they are living
longer, fuller lives as a result.
Unnatural Causes will be broadcast
on four consecutive Thursdays beginning March 27th: Print
