Redesigning the Future of Health, Longevity and Community
The Bold Move
Cutthelifeexpectancygapinhalf.Inadecade.
"Not through a single program, but through a coordinated, cross-sector commitment across healthcare, business, philanthropy, civic life, and policy."
Attendance is by invitation. Space is limited.
The evidence is documented. The return is proven. The cost of inaction is compounding. What remains is the decision every organization must make: to remain a bystander to this crisis, or to become a builder of what comes after it.
The Case
A trillion-dollar gap.
A decade-long window.
There is a $1.4 trillion gap at the center of the American economy. Not a projection. A compounding, year-over-year loss, generated by communities that are less healthy than they could be, producing a workforce less productive than it should be, at a cost every employer already absorbs without ever seeing it named.
American employers carry $575 billion of it every year, in absenteeism, disability, turnover, and presenteeism that trace to the health of the communities their employees live in. Most have never connected those dots. The companies that do will own the next decade.
In Chicago, residents of Streeterville live to an average age of 90. Six miles south, in Englewood, it is 60. In Washington, D.C., life expectancy drops by a year with every Metro stop heading east.
These are not only health statistics. They are workforce statistics.
This is where the evidence becomes action.
