Description

Join us on November 30, 2022, for the final fall IHA lecture, “De-Stress Your Environment and Your Life!” by Esther Sternberg, MD, and Robert L. Crocker, MD. The lecture will take place at the Health Sciences Innovation Building, 1670 E. Drachman St., Tucson, AZ 85721, and will also be live streamed. In this lecture, Drs. Sternberg and Crocker will discuss a framework for embedding whole person/integrative health into the built environment, starting with a conversation about how each began to work in the area of integrative health and the built environment. Audience members will learn about the importance of lifestyle in health and wellbeing, and the seven "core areas" of integrative health. They will give examples of each of the seven core areas and will discuss how the built environment can be designed to foster and support each domain. Both experts will touch on the importance of integrative health and designing the built environment to support optimal health and resilience in a post-COVID world. Finally, Drs. Sternberg and Crocker will share their views on where the field is going in the future and some practical take-home messages to help audience members incorporate these principles into their everyday lives, to optimize their health and wellbeing.
