We are almost one month away from our virtual 2020 Fall Symposium on Friday, November 13 from 7:45 AM to 3:45 PM PT. The symposium will be covering the topic, “Worker Health: Work as a Social Determinant of Health.”
Sponsored by the Institute, Oregon Healthy Workforce Center, OHSU-PSU School of Public Health and PSU Occupational Health Psychology Program, this Fall Symposium will aim to understand the root causes of social determinants of health through the lens of the opportunities and conditions of work that shape our everyday lives. Highlighting the issue of work as a social determinant of health will lead to understanding ways of changing population health through our employment institutions. This will ultimately lead to improved health and well-being of workers and their families, especially those who are marginalized, in low-income households, and less advantaged due to other social determinants of health.
