About

A decade ago, two National Academies reports -- US Health in International Perspective: Shorter Lives, Poorer Health and For the Public’s Health: Investing in a Healthier Future--made important findings and recommendations regarding the nation's health and the policies and investments that shape it. They also raised the alarm over the public's limited knowledge that the nation's unrivaled spending on health care is not matched by the level of health and length of life Americans experience. And the mismatch is worsening.

Although experts know what factors promote and support good health and longer lives, the nation falls short in implementing policies for or investing in those factors.

The symposium was not designed to be a scientific meeting, but an event that focused, facilitated experience to inspire a new decade of strategic casemaking, movement organizing, practical research, and value-oriented investment.

Recordings from the symposium are provided below, in addition to other background materials.

Below the symposium recordings, you can view you can view remarks from Dr. Victor Dzau, president of the National Academy of Medicine, about the symposium and the two reports in which it is grounded.
