Emory University: Symposium on prevention

The Sixth Annual National Symposium on Predictive Health, to be held Tuesday and Wednesday at Emory University, will focus on integrating biology, behavior and environment, and will emphasize maintaining health rather than treating disease. The theme of the symposium is "Human Health: Molecules to Mankind.”
Major topics will include environmental health, genomics, nutrition, toxicology, fetal nutrition, air pollution and ethics as they relate to predictive health.
The Emory/Georgia Tech Predictive Health Institute symposium will be held at the Emory Conference Center, 1615 Clifton Road, Atlanta.

What a great idea. We're so good at treating disease and dealing with crisis/crises. But we "need improvement" on the front side.
