Colleagues
 
I am very pleased to share with you a recent video developed by the 
Sudbury & District Health Unit as part of our ongoing public health 
efforts to improve health equity: Let?s start a conversation about 
health?and not talk about health care at all.

Let?s start a conversation about health?and not talk about health care at 
all is a five minute video highlighting that HEALTH is about much more 
than access to medical care.  It highlights that everyone has different 
opportunities for health, largely influenced by their social and economic 
conditions. Using this broad view of health, the video describes actions 
that various non-health sectors can take.  It encourages everyone ? 
teachers, builders, dads, nurses, business women, students, politicians?  
to start a conversation about health? and not talk about health care at 
all.
 
I would be very pleased to hear your feedback at 
[log in to unmask] or to me directly.
 
Please note that the French version of the video and a User?s Guide will 
be released in early fall 2011.  I encourage you to further share and make 
use of this video for public health purposes.
 
Thank you very much,
 
Penny
