Happy National Public Health Week! On this episode of Clifton Health On Air, we are celebrating this year’s National Public Health Week theme: Ready. Set. ACTION! Scientific Advancement.Today, host Danielle Jones and co-host Lauren Scarfo sit down with Ashley Peralta, Clifton Health Department Health Educator, Abraham Aragones, M.D., M.S. and Ilona Fridman, Ph.D. from the Hackensack Meridian Health Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) to talk all about Scientific Advancement.The American Public Health Association states that science is not abstract — it is the reason most children live past the age of five and most adults live well into later life. Science delivered vaccines, sanitation, seatbelts and safer workplaces. Good health doesn’t just happen — the knowledge gained through science makes it possible. https://hmh-cdi.org/enhttps://hmh-cdi.org/en/research/faculty/abraham-aragoneshttps://hmh-cdi.org/en/research/faculty/ilona-fridmanFridman Lab:Contact the LabEmail: [email protected] Phone: 201-880-3643Mailing Address: Center for Discovery and Innovation Cancer Prevention, Precision & Control Institute 123 Metro Boulevard, Room # 6419 Nutley, NJ 07110Aragones Lab:Contact the LabEmail: [email protected] Address: Center for Discovery and Innovation 111 Ideation Way Nutley, NJ 07110Don't forget to tune in every other week for a new episode of Clifton Health on Air!Visit our website, like and follow us on social media:Website: www.cliftonnj.org/164/health-departmentFacebook: www.facebook.com/cliftonhealthInstagram: www.instagram.com/CliftonHealthIf you have any questions, you can email us: [email protected]
