You Are Invited to the First Creative Placehealing Research & Development Roundtable
Note: This is an invitational research meeting of UofL School of Public Health. For more information, please email: theodore.edmonds@louisville.edu If you have received an invitation from the planning team, please respond with your RSVP by Friday, January 18 so we can plan accordingly.
Framing:
Forbes magazine recently reported that US employees have 1.4 billion missed days of work annually due to illness and impaired performance – an amount greater than if every nurse in the US missed a year of work. In addition to lost productivity from poor health, US employers also paid an additional $880 billion in health care benefits for employees and dependents. However, poor health is not natural. Humans, in our natural state, are meant to thrive.
This is why the University of Louisville School of Public Health & Information Sciences is creating the The Center for Creative Placehealing® (CCP)— to help us realize our full potential as a society. CCP is dedicated to supporting inclusive, thriving, healthy cultures --backed by science-- in the places where we work, live, learn, and play.
The World Health Organization has identified the systemic neglect of CULTURE, in health and healthcare, as the single greatest barrier to the advancement of the highest standard of health worldwide. Through a mix of evidence-driven research, education and entertainment, CCP will leverage the power of culture, and the creative industries, to make investing in what works for population health, the “new normal” for private sector, social impact, strategy and design.
CCP’s definition of population health includes public health and wellbeing -- as defined by geographic regions, such as states or communities -- but also includes other groups, such as employees of a company, or people who share a heritage.
CCP is bringing population health professionals and scholars together with experts from many different fields -- including business, journalism, technology, economics, sociology, anthropology, medicine, communications, psychology, arts and humanities -- to collaborate on building a bridge between population health practice and research, private sector
