Linda K. Ridell, MS
Population Health Scientist and Principal, Healthy Economy LLC

We are changing it up for our June 19th LCC. Linda has developed a game, Gettin' By, that gives people first-hand experience of the brain changes that occur to people living in poverty. After playing, people understand poverty in an entirely different way. Linda will present the game to us at this event and will facilitate playing it in groups. Then we will have a discussion about the effects on the brain.

Linda Riddell is an epidemiologist specializing in poverty and health. She has a master’s degree in health policy and management from the Muskie School of Public Service, University of Southern Maine and a bachelor’s degree in English (University of Cincinnati).  Her clients range from state governments to private institutes, national insurers to start-up companies. She helps clients to measure the impact of programs on health status.  In short, she counts sick people.

She has long had an interest in the brain and how environment and experience shape it. This interest plus her work in epidemiology came together to inspire the game, Gettin' By.

PLEASE NOTE:  This Leadership Coffee Chat is $10 for guests and free to attend for members. Guests should pay online prior to the event.  Members, please register online ahead of time.  We want to be sure we have enough coffee on hand for this early morning event!
