The next East Town Business Partnership Business Forum is scheduled for Thursday, February 21, 2019 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at The Depot – 225 3rd Avenue South. The title of this month’s forum is “Ways the Social Determinants of Health are Transforming Institutions.” Registration, lunch and networking starts at 11:30 a.m. with the program starting at Noon.

The World Health Organization defines the social determinants of health as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age.” In this forum East Town and Hennepin Healthcare’s Upstream Health Innovation Team will discuss cutting edge research, measurements, and health care programs that are changing the very nature of health care itself.
