Joint Annual CHB and District Health Authority Workshop 2010

Each Spring the CHB members from the three Community Health Boards and the GASHA Board of Directors hold a joint workshop on a topic of particular interest to the Boards.

This year, on June 3 2010, the Board members will meet to view and discuss the video, “Unnatural Causes.”

Unnatural Causes is the acclaimed documentary series broadcast by PBS and now used by thousands of organizations around the country to tackle the root causes of our alarming socio-economic and racial inequities in health.
