TEDxColumbus - Teresa Long, MD - One Vision

Teresa Long, M.D./ One Vision
What would a healthy world look like? From outbreaks and pandemics-- HIV/AIDS, obesity, H1N1-- to health disparities, this doctor sees everything. But if we spent just a moment thinking about what a healthy community really looks like, what picture would you paint? Dr. Teresa Long, Columbus' Public Health Commissioner, will carry us through her vision of that portrait.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
