This session will open with a conversation with Ben Carson, Secretary, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, followed by a panel discussion. Health is not only determined by biology, genetics, and individual behaviors, but is also largely impacted by social and physical environments, including resource availability and the communities in which individuals reside. This panel will discuss holistic contributors to health status and explore solutions to improving health outcomes, ranging from market-based initiative and aligned incentives to community health workers and ensuring access to affordable quality health-care.
