Connected: How Relationships Shape Our Health

"Social Network"— the term conjures visions of online communities from Facebook to MySpace. But offline, how important is your neighbor's cousin's messy divorce in your day-to-day life? Can obesity be just as contagious as H1N1?

Join The California Endowment's Center for Healthy Communities for an evening with Nicholas Christakis, Harvard professor, sociologist, policy expert and co-author of Connected, as he explores how the people we know influence our behaviors and can cause epidemics, both good and bad.

The program will be held at The California Endowment's Center for Healthy Communities in Los Angeles on Monday, August 2 from 6-7:30 p.m.
