What makes us get sick? Look upstream.

living/working conditions we all are part of have more than twice impact on health than dna does… altogether living/working conditions account for 60% of preventable deaths

zipcode matters more than genetic code.. actually even shaping genetic code

we often treat symptoms without addressing the conditions that make us sick in the first place

1. we don’t pay for that – we pay for volume not value

2. don’t ask, don’t tell, – we don’t ask because we don’t know the answers

3. there aren’t enough upstreamists.. in the health care system

1. identify problem

2. let’s figure out the root cause..

3. mobilize resources to create a solution

there aren’t enough up streamists out there
