Dr. Will Ross, Associate Dean for Diversity, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine, and Senior Fellow at the Washington University Center for Health Policy, discusses why social determinants of health are dictated largely by the distribution of wealth, power and resources in one’s environment. He says that being conscious of your surroundings and overcoming negative environments with positive thinking are important. Dr. Ross explains how to positively affect your own health by taking advantage of one of St. Louis’ many beautiful parks, eating healthy by shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables, and utilizing preventive treatments such as flu shots and other vaccines.
