We gather the global board today in Bristol, Va, hosted by the active local Virginia chapter (which has conserved over 500,000 acres) to learn more about the global importance of the Appalachians in climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Compared to ALL of our sister cities, Nashville has the WORST life expectancy, infant mortality, smoking rates, and mental health. As the healthcare capital, we have to do better!

Today we send out a heartfelt THANK YOU to the Metro City Council of Nashville, who last night voted to pass an indoor smokefree ordinance that will finally guarantee smokefree workplaces for our city's musicians and hospitality workers!

Smoking is the #1 cause of preventable death in the U.S. & secondhand smoke is #3. Here in Nashville, 17% of adults smoke according to recent Robert Wood Johnson Foundation data - this is a major public health challenge for our city.

It’s 9:01am on 9/01 and it’s officially #901Day. What better way to celebrate this day than to announce my candidacy for the next Mayor of Memphis?
I have a vision for this city that includes us all. Together, we can continue to move this city forward. It’s go time!

On hot days like these, a tree canopy is more important than ever! That's why we partner with @root_nashville to help reach their goal of planting 500,000 trees by 2050. Our city will be healthier, cooler, & more beautiful with a rich tree canopy bit.ly/3yQbOfM

With 10M in jail or prison, incarceration is a primary source of poor health for individuals, communities & our nation as a whole. My new @Forbes op-ed outlines 5 big ideas our Aspen Health Strategy Group has developed to reduce its health harms:

Important to frame things this way at all levels
"I am more optimistic, although admittedly, as a leader you have to be intentional about seeing problems as challenges and opportunities rather than obstacles and obstructions."
