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
