How does our conceptualization of health reflect or deny the inherent worth and dignity of all people? What does it mean to engage in democracy when definitions of health are being narrowed while access to meaningful health-care is being degraded? What roots should we be aware of in discussions of public health? Are some more in line with our values than others? Join us to explore the intersections of health, worth, and democracy in modern US society.
