Tuesday 30 September ⋅ 20:30 – 22:30 (UTC)
Presented by the University of Louisville’s Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute in collaboration with the Filson Historical Society. A reception will be held from 4:30-5:25 p.m. with the lecture following at 5:30 p.m.This lecture offers a timely and important exploration of how we can live healthier, disease-free lives. Centered around the concept of healthspan—the portion of life spent in good health, as distinct from total lifespan—the session will challenge us to think differently about what it means to pursue health, rather than merely reduce disease risk. Leaders from the Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute will reflect on their multiyear journey shaping a research agenda that reframes medicine around the foundations of well-being.
