The
Unnatural Causes video series continued with its third in a series
of four programs at the Heritage Park visitors' center at Battleship Cove
on May 6, 2009. Organized by the
Access to Healthcare Task Force of
Partners for a Healthier Community,
Inc., the program featured the fourth and fifth half-hour videos in
a series of seven
programs produced by California Newsreel
in association with Vital Pictures. The series was presented on PBS
television over the past year to help reframe the national debate about
what we as a society can, and should, do to address our glaring health
inequities. The two videos presented during this evening focused on the
causes of the
high incidence of diabetes among the Pima Indians of Arizona and the
improvement in
asthma rates in a Seattle Housing Authority development through
architectural re-design.
