The College of Arts & Sciences will host a one day symposium on January 28, 2011 here on campus. The Public Health in Appalachia and South Africa Symposium not only examines the similarities and differences of these two regions but also explores the challenges each faces with various health care issues.

We are pleased to have several outstanding members of the UK community as well as distinguished professors and health care experts from both the United States and South Africa participate in the event.

The day-long event is broken into three sections and will cover topics which include:
The History of Public Health in Appalachia
Health Care Issues Common to Appalachia and South Africa
Health and Human Rights Issues

This event will be held in the Lexmark Public Room in 209 Main Building and will run from 10:00 am until 5:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
