Speaker
Paul H. Wise - Stanford University

Dr. Paul Wise, Stanford professor of Child Health and Society, will discuss "The Struggle for Child Health and Protection in Areas of Intense Political Instability." Dr. Wise is a pediatrician by training and has presented seminars on such lively and diverse topics as "Are Adults Just Grown-up Kids?" and "Can the California Pediatric Health Care System Survive Health Care Reform?" His most recent research hypothesizes that almost half of all preventable child deaths in the world occur in areas characterized by unstable governance. Find out how Stanford is developing new strategies to improve child health and well-being in areas plagued by violence and political instability.

Professor Wise will speak and field questions about his topic and the work of Stanford Health Policy from 7:15-8:15.
