Join us for the “The Lancet Global Health Launch - A Look at Baltimore City’s Indicators of Health and Sustainability,” as we unveil the results of a new report from Lancet Global Health on the analysis of health and sustainability indicators of 25 cities across the globe—including Baltimore, Maryland. SPH Associate Professor Jennifer D. Roberts, an expert on the impact of built, social and natural environments on physical activity and public health outcomes of marginalized communities, co-authored the report.
The event will be held in person (with option to participate virtually) and will be moderated by Dr. Amy R. Sapkota and Dr. Rianna Murray in our Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health. Dr. Roberts will present the report findings and share a recorded message by Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. We welcome you to join us in person or virtually to learn more about the report and its implications.
