2024 Political Drivers of Health Symposium

Political determinants of health include the governmental systems, structures, and policies that impact health outcomes.

In collaboration with an array of healthcare stakeholders and partners, the Office of Government Relations at Dartmouth Health is hosting a day-long symposium on December 16 to explore the political determinants of health. We will discuss how laws and regulations influence the health and economic prosperity of Granite Staters.

This event is open to the public, and all interested in the health and well-being of our communities are welcome to attend.
