Mildred Thompson, Director of the PolicyLink Center for Health and Place, is promoting the airing on PBS of a documentary that explores the connection between affordable housing and heath.  She writes:

The timing could not be better for the launch of the landmark PBS documentary Unnatural Causes – Is Inequality Making us Sick?, a four-part series that sheds light on the critical importance of economics, race and class on health outcomes.

The documentary (which I helped advise) skillfully portrays the vast disparities in health and overall quality of life between families with wealth and those clinging to the middle and lower rungs of the economic ladder.

The more money you have, the better your health. This powerful and vital message is at the heart of the series and helped spur the creation of the PolicyLink Center for Health and Place, which I direct.  For more information and viewing times . . .
