Public Health As An Urban Solution | Leana Wen | TEDxBaltimore

How public health is the lens to address poverty, violence, discrimination, and injustice. Redefining the role of public health to be the 21st century urban solution and critical social justice tool, in Baltimore and around the world. Recorded at TEDxBaltimore January 2016.

As the Commissioner of Health in Baltimore, Dr. Wen has been reimagining the role of public health. She has engaged public health in violence prevention and launched an opioid overdose prevention program that is training every resident to save lives.

I'm graduating with a degree in public health in Dec. 2017, and Ms. Wen is such a compassionate voice of sanity and hope, that I hope to emulate and further her work in our communities. Working together as members of community team is what makes public health truly work for its community. Thank you Leana Wen for your inspirational words!

Dr Wen presented such a complex issue in a simpler manner with a number of stories. Public Health has to be given top importance worldwide.

This video got me pumped about public health! I wish the crowd had been more excited.

[CraigDeLarge]

Increasingly I see that when I am not my neighbor's keeper, i am also not keeping myself. Our individualism is a delusion that is killing us. Mercy, mercy, mercy!

Dr. Wen, please go further into politics. Keep fighting. We need more people like you running our country. We need science and solutions not rhetoric and bullshit. I wish you were eligible to be president. You've got my vote.
