Ecosystem Health: A New Concept for Health Care

  • Children's health. Pollution. Environmental toxins.
  • Healthy people need healthy environments.

Dr John Howard, current chair of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, challenges some key beliefs of Canada’s health care system. He wants to broaden the definition of community health care to include the health of the water, the air and the land.

In his presentation in Winnipeg on April 9th, he will present an alternative model that focuses on Ecosystem Health as the basis for making health care and environmental decisions.

This is the keynote address to the Green Communities Canada National Conference.

Free

Cocktails/reception will follow Dr Howard's talk.
