Why is Getting Healthy So Hard?

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Hartford Marriott (Farmington, CT)

The expectation that we take personal responsibility for our health has become a truism. So why, when we often know what to do, is it still so hard to put this knowledge into practice? This conference will take a provocative look at the economic, behavioral and cultural factors which influence our health behaviors and decisions and offer examples that we can put to use to improve our own health and the health of our communities. Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and frequent NPR commentator, and Val Curtis, health anthropologist from the London School of Hygiene, will be keynote speakers. Julio Urbina, with the Samuels Foundation in NYC, will moderate a Q&A session with the speakers and audience.
