Place Matters: Peter Beilenson at TEDxBaltimore 2013
Place Matters: Peter Beilenson at TEDxBaltimore 2013 – During his tenure as Health Commissioner in Baltimore City, Dr. Beilenson’s vision led to expanded drug treatment programs, improved immunization compliance, effective lead poisoning prevention initiatives, juvenile violence prevention, and the creation of the state-wide initiative for universal health coverage in Maryland – Health Care for All. In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
