The League of Women Voters of Snohomish County will have a general meeting in Lynnwood this week. The public is invited to join.
Dr. Stephen Bezruchka will speak about inequality at the event, which begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 17 at the Trinity Lutheran Church, located at 6215 196th St. SW. in Lynnwood.
Economic differences have a major impact on the country’s health. Sixty years ago, the United States had some of the best health rates in the world. Since then, other nations have improved their health faster than the Unites States has. Bezruchka will speak about how supportive social relationships can help improve health and extend life.
Bezruchka is a senior lecturer at the University of Washington’s School of Public Health. He earned degrees from Harvard, Stanford and Johns Hopkins Universities and has worked clinically as a doctor for 35 years, eleven of those years in Nepal running a community health project and training doctors.
