  • 12:00PM to 1:30PM
  • Online

We work and live through layers of infrastructure designed and installed by companies and public agencies, often out of sight and seemingly beyond our grasp.

The US also has extremely weak structures of community-based care, primary care, and social welfare infrastructure (from housing to income supports) that are fundamental to good health.
