Moirs Environmental Dialogues

Laura Henze Russell, Director of ORI’s Hidden River Health Challenge, spoke with Rob about good health, integrated care and making chronic diseases history. Two MA Bills have been filed to protect the public from undisclosed health risks of mercury dental amalgam. Laura has met with the MA Dept. of Public Health and Executive Office of Health & Human Services to discuss broader reforms to integrate dental plans into health care and make it subject to medical necessity, patient rights and data-driven outcomes. Laura has a Warrant before Sharon Town Meeting asking President Obama for a Surgeon General Report on Dental Amalgam and Mercury Health Risks. Laura is reaching out to additional organizations to work For Good Health, attending the MA Health Policy Commission, and advocating for the Women’s Health Equity Plan to include gender, genes and toxins. The FDA was just sued for failing to respond a petition to reconsider its flawed 2009 Class II ruling after 54 months.
