Discovering Our Community Series 

For the Sake of All

and Why It Matters to Everyone 

Health is fundamental to human well-being, but it is not equally distributed across our community. Life expectancy in Wildwood is 91.4 years; in Kinloch it’s 55.9 years. This kind of disparity takes its toll on our entire region, morally and economically.

For The Sake of All is a multi-disciplinary project on the health and well-being of African Americans in St. Louis conducted by scholars from Washington University and Saint Louis University under Principal Investigator Jason Purnell. 

Event chairs Leslie Corey and Riffi O'Brien invite you to join program facilatator Rebeccah Bennett from Emerging Wisdom, LLC as we learn more and share information.
