Past Health Studies Events
Data Walk
The University of Richmond in partnership with Voices for Virginia’s Children, Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities, and Bon Secours hosted a data walk to explore new maps and charts from Unpacking the Census and engaged in dialogue about a path forward for the children of the Richmond region. The data walk focused on general demographics of children in the region and on education, economic security and health components.
Health Studies was well represented at A&S Next. Assistant professors Courtney Blondino and Margaret Tait facilitated a case study on Balancing the Business of Healthcare while Nigel James moderated one on Tackling Youth Mental Health: Developing a Roadmap for Richmond.
