Rhonda Cornum is a former United States Army General Officer, a former Desert Storm Prisoner of War and the former Assistant Surgeon General for the U.S. Army. Additionally, as the first Director of the U.S. Army’s novel Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) initiative, she offers a unique perspective into Psychological and Physical Fitness at scale.
Renée Boynton-Jarrett is a practicing primary care pediatrician at Boston Medical Center, a social epidemiologist and the founding director of the Vital Village Community Engagement Network. Through the Vital Village Network, she is supporting the development of community-based strategies to promote child well-being in three Boston neighborhoods. The CSF strategy represented the model for universal implementation of physical and psychological health promotion within the Department of Defense and having affected 1.1 Million Soldiers, remains the single largest implementation of wellbeing and positive psychological skills in scope and scale globally.
Dr. Boynton-Jarrett’s work focuses on the role of early-life adversities as life course social determinants of health. She has a specific interest in the intersection of community violence, intimate partner violence, and child abuse and neglect and neighborhood characteristics that influence these patterns. This event is free and open to the public, however, space is limited and advance registration is required.
