Plenary Speaker

Marcella Wilson Ph.D.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Transition to Success

In this session Marcella Wilson Ph.D redefines poverty, not as a character flaw but as a treatable, environmentally based condition. Using science and data, Dr. Wilson presents a new paradigm of understanding, integrated with the first evidence based, demonstrated standards of care to treat the condition of poverty. These standards of care directly respond to the social determinants of health, the root cause of poverty and can be directly applied in recovery programs, often as a billable service. Dr. Wilson’s story and vision for social transformation inspires, offers a comprehensive system of care and is a call to action for all attendees.

More than a decade ago, Dr. Marcella Wilson took over a failing charity, and recognized two frequently opposing paradigms for addressing poverty: everyone had good intentions, but a “character flaw” mentality infused their efforts. Unlike other public health challenges, there was lack of a “science of poverty.” Join us for a joint presentation with Drs. Wilson, Osmick, and Kaminski about the evolving science of poverty, and how that knowledge can be applied to address poverty as a core social determinant of health to strive for healthier populations.
