Home Initiatives Public Health
In five vital arenas, the environment, education, public health, arts and culture, and food and organic living, the MPC has developed essential multi-media to inspire effective local action for change.

While the current healthcare debate seeks to repair a flawed system that cannot be fixed, the MPC's initiative, in contrast, focuses on preventative measures and wellness -- from designing healthier public spaces and environmental sustainability (Designing Healthy Cities) to caregiving and aging with dignity (Thou Shalt Honor).

And Thou Shalt Honor

Every person at some point in life will both become a caregiver and receive care from others. And Thou Shalt Honor takes a critical look at the frightening prospect of aging in America and offers compelling solutions for dignity at the end of life.

Designing Healthy Cities

How do we address public health epidemics like obesity and depression? The answer may lie in the environments we inhabit. In Designing Healthy Cities, community leaders and citizens alike construct public spaces to transform our lives.
