In this lecture, Dr. Hyman will:

• explore policies for health reform to address the causes of chronic disease that affect 78% of our population and accounts for $2.1trillion in costs.

• share his observations on the process of policy change and strategies for effective health reform that address the drivers of cost and disease

For the past year, Dr. Hyman has met regularly with Congressmen, Senator Harkin, Chairman of the HELP committee, and Senator Baucus, Chairman of the Finance Committee, as well as with Dr. Ezekeil Emanuel, White House health policy advisor and Nancy Ann Min DeParle, the White House Health Czar, and Secretary of HHS, Kathleen Sebelius.

The goal has been to introduce policies into health reform that address causes of chronic disease that affect 78% of our population and accounts for $2.1 trillion in costs.  He will share his observations on the process of policy change and strategies for effective health reform that address the true drivers of cost and disease: lifestyle and environmental toxins.
