Report to the Community:
Our Environment and Our Health
will be presented by Dr. Glen Grayman, president of HARC. It is co-sponsored by Palm Springs Institute for Environmental Sustainability and Health Assessment Resource Center (HARC).

HARC recently completed its first health status assessment of eastern Riverside County in February and March 2007 from some 50,000 telephone calls achieving 3,150 completed responses. This first survey provided baseline data to our community about demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and about health status and health risks.

In this presentation to the community, Dr. Grayman reports on what the survey suggests about asthma, physical activity and respondents’ concerns about livable communities, including such factors of air quality, noise, parks and transportation. Dr. Grayman will also provide information on environmental aspects of our community’s health from other sources.

Saturday, May 17, 2008 at 2 p.m., Indian Wells Theater Admission: $3, includes parking. Students free with ID.
