The Quest for Cure of “Alzheimer's”
This essay explores personal and cultural meaning in dementia through the respective stories of biomedicine, public health, and alternative worldviews, using Indigenous perspectives as a critical example. Since Alzheimer's visibility as a biomedical illness intensified in the 1970s, the disease has generated powerful narratives of scientific cure that are now limiting public discourse and appropriate social and ecological action. In this essay, o…
Integrating a Gamified Digital Application in Naturebased Settings to Improve Physical Activity and Health Outcomes Among Central Pennsylvanians
Objectives: We evaluated the effectiveness of a community-facilitated, digital application intervention at increasing physical activity in central Pennsylvania. Methods: We employed a game-based digital application within partnership- guided, nature-based programming to encourage physical activity. Partnerships with local healthcare and park/ recreation entities were established to facilitate recruitment and intervention sustenance. Self-reported…

Hospital-Based Community Gardens as a Strategic Partner in Addressing Community Health Needs
As part of community health needs assessments, US nonprofit hospitals are identifying a high prevalence of chronic diseases associated with poor diets. Institutions have responded by establishing nutrition-related initiatives such as farmers’ markets and community gardens. There is public health value in demonstrating how these partnerships can help hospitals address identified community health needs. Here we describe diverse strategies undertake…

Strategies to Help Health Care Organizations Execute Their Food System Leadership Responsibilities
Food systems influence environmental sustainability and health. The fact that our current food production and distribution practices neither support nor promote planetary or human health raises ethical concerns. Since health organizations offer food to patients, community members, and employees, they are situated at key intersections among food systems, agricultural policies and practices, and public health. This article considers the nature and …
Bisexual Women's Invisibility in Health Care
Invisibility of racial and ethnic inequity in clinical research means many important features of disease etiology and symptom presentation are often unaccounted for. Similarly, binary (ie, gay or straight) definitions of sexuality render bisexual women's experiences invisible, and this invisibility has 2 important consequences for minority groups' members' health, which this article considers
When Is Advertising a Plastic Surgeon's Individual “Brand” Unethical
Advertising a plastic surgery practice on social media is fraught with both practical and ethical challenges. We use an institutional betrayal framework to explore the range of potential harms to patient well-being while also considering the pitfalls of social media activity, especially marketing, for practitioners. We also give consideration to the relative benefits that such online patient-clinician relationships can provide. In our analysis, w…
From Intergenerational to Intergenerative
Intergenerational schools and other multi-age contact zones are important innovations in learning and health. In this reflective essay, we explicate the idea of ‘intergenerativity’ as an elaboration of concept of ‘intergenerational’ to include other inter-actions, such as those that form among disciplines, nations, and professions. Based on celebrating diverse ideas and backgrounds, intergenerativity is a future-oriented concept that goes “betwee…
Hosting Syrian Refugees
The article discusses the authors' claim that the communities across the U.S. have the resources that are needed to help refugee families from places such as Syria, and it mentions a Food As Medicine advocacy group for refugees and families, as well as empathy for the physical and emotional needs of refugees. A Syrian civil war-related humanitarian crisis is examined, along with refugees resettlement and donations of clothing, money, and househol…
An Intergenerational Teaching Kitchen
In the early 21st century, increases in demographic aging and urbanization and global economic instability, brought on by the worldwide recession and accompanying austerity measures enacted in many
Social Learning and Innovation
Human beings have a unique capacity for social learning and innovation that has supported the continued survival of our species. In 2010, 16-year-old Grace Wagler attended a public lecture about The Intergenerational School based in Cleveland, Ohio, and was inspired to imagine how similar intergenerational reading programs might be started in her hometown of Hershey, Pennsylvania. Over the past three years, she has helped develop two innovative s…

Evolving From Wireless Terminals to Mobile Card Readers at Farmers' Markets
The study by Bertmann et al.1 assesses the impact of providing wireless terminals to 5 farmers’ markets on overall sales and food stamp redemption. They found that this technology significantly increased sales at 4 of 5 markets after implementation and conclude that wireless terminals may be important for improving the financial stability and accessibility of markets. We have observed similar improvements in sales and electronic benefit transfer …

A Role for Medical Anthropology in Complex Systems Approaches to Health Disparities
The recent article by Diez Roux1 calls for the application of complex systems approaches to specific health disparities research. Methodologically, the author argues that virtual worlds (i.e., complex modeling and computer simulations) can help identify how lower processes scale up and interact with higher-level factors to manifest in patterns of health and disease at the population level. Such approaches can elucidate underlying leverage points …
Public Health Potential of Farmers’ Markets on Medical Center Campuses
There are currently 7175 farmers’ markets in the United States, and these organizations are increasingly viewed as one facet of the solution to national health problems. There has been a recent trend toward establishing markets on medical center campuses, and such partnerships can augment a medical center's ability to serve community health. However, to our knowledge no studies have described the emergence of a market at a medical center, the bar…
A Model of Intergenerativity
Our world is presently facing formidable challenges requiring intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and interprofessional solutions that encourage local learning and action. This article articulates the concept of “intergenerativity,” a theoretical and practical framework that can build the collective wisdom and inspire the informed local action that a world addled with complex challenges so desperately needs. Intergenerativity is defined and con…
