Dr. Martine Hackett, associate professor and chair of Hofstra’s Department of Population Health, spoke to Newsday about the connection between housing and health.
She noted that the connection between housing and health has always existed and when we look at the elderly and the type of health conditions they have you can determine that the quality of their housing is key to maintaining their health.
Dr. Hackett's research focuses on public health and health inequities, particularly in the American suburbs and minority communities. She's available to speak with media - simply click on her icon now to arrange an interview today.
