As one person, how do you change issues around housing — or as one person, how do you change how an entire nation thinks about race? It is in our relationships with each other that we can heal…that we can affirm each other's qualities, and that we build the foundations for movements that can make big changes. And we all have the power to do that — to be that for each other." — Dr. Vivek Murthy, 19th Surgeon General of the United States and Senior Fellow, WBT, at Well Being Legacy Among the underlying questions: What needs to be asked of each generation to leave a legacy of well-being for future generations? How can we best ensure benefits accrue equitably to all? What are the implications for leaders to contribute to "living legacies" worthy of our lives and roles? Over three days, we explored what it could mean for the nation if every person had the opportunity to realize their fullest potential for well-being—mentally, physically, spiritually, socio-culturally, and economically. Rooted in the lived experience of the attendees, the learnings of diverse communities across the nation, and the growing evidence base on what works in advancing comprehensive strategies for well-being, we addressed impactful ways to increase equitable access to living wage jobs; affordable housing and active mobility; lifelong learning opportunities; healthy natural environments and safe places to live, work, worship and play; and meaningful ways to engage in our democracy. The event unpacked the seven vital conditions for intergenerational well-being, examined the legacies of past decisions, and explored what it will take to create new living legacies.
