Public Health Week

These segments explore public health during Public Health Week the first full week of April.

Jim Raczynski, Ph.D., dean of the College of Public Health at UAMS, discusses the problem of obesity, one of the greatest obstacles to public health in Arkansas. In the nine years between 1991 and 2000, Arkansas’ obesity rate almost doubled to nearly 25 percent. Also appearing during the week is UAMS professor William Golden, M.D., who discusses his work with the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care, a non-profit partner with UAMS in addressing public health concerns around the state.
