Dear Supporter,

I wanted to let you know that I will be giving a talk at Long Island University's first Annual Public Health Symposium “Health for All.” I hope you will consider joining me for my open talk and book signing:

In the First Place – Prevention Matters

Long Island University
University Plaza, Brooklyn, NY 11201
KUMBLE THEATER
Tuesday, October 10, 4:00 to 7:00 PM

Following my talk will be a panel discussion on prevention leadership featuring key health experts including:

• Dr. TORIAN EASTERLING, MD, MPH
  Assistant Commissioner New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene / Medical Director for Center for Health Equity's Brooklyn District Public Health Office

* Thanks to Dean of Students Jessica Hayes and the Division of Campus life for providing an opportunity for the first 50 students who come to the event to receive a copy of Prevention Diaries, my recent book that tells the story of a movement to remake our communities to support health and equity and reveals the unexpected (yet foreseeable) parts of daily life that shape our health.

Best regards,
Larry
