the entire day on April 12th at the UMass
Dartmouth Center
for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE)
Conference Center exploring the
status of public health of

leadership program. The first session was devoted to develop
the participants' understanding of the state of public health on the South
Coast, including the social determinants of health, key health issues,
challenges and barriers to a healthy lifestyle, and promising resources
and interventions. Leadership

and to engage the participants in a discussion about how they might
address these issues in their work setting. Click here for a
