"A Healthy Society" with Dr. Ryan Meili and Dennis Raphael


Please join us on Monday May 28th from 7-9pm to celebrate the launch of 
Dr. Ryan Meili's A Healthy Society

Ryan is a family doctor at the West Side Community Clinic in Saskatoon, as 
well as the head of the Division of Social Accountability at the College 
of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. With an introduction by 
Dennis Raphael, Ryan will talk about how the Canadian health care system 
too often focuses on the treatment of immediate causes and ignores the 
more fundamental conditions that lead to poor health, including income, 
education, employment, housing, and social supports. A Healthy Society 
discusses these health determinants and examinese those democratic reforms 
which could help Canadians to create a truly healthy society. Ryan's book 
is a plan for action based in the lived experiences of both practitioners 
and patients. A Healthy Society breaks important ground in the renewal of 
politics toward the goal of better lives for all Canadians.
