SUMMARY:It's Getting Hot in Here 🔥: Climate and Health Series
DESCRIPTION:“Environmental Exposures\, Neighborhoods\, and Health: From Mortality to Children’s Health” \nAntonella Zanobetti\, PhD\, MS\, Core Member\, Center for Climate\, Health\, and Healthcare and Professor in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine in the Department of Medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School \nThis presentation provides an overview of my research examining how air pollution\, temperature\, and other environmental exposures affect human health. I will highlight findings from studies examining mortality\, neurodegenerative disorders\, and children’s health focusing on the effects of air pollution\, temperature\, greenspace\, and other environmental exposures\, as well as neighborhood characteristics. Together\, these studies illustrate how environmental exposures and neighborhood context influence health across populations and stages of life. Understanding how environmental and neighborhood exposures influence health is essential for identifying vulnerable populations\, developing effective prevention strategies\, guiding urban planning and environmental policy\, and reducing health disparities and the growing burden of environmentally related disease and premature mortality. \nThe event will be held in the 5th Floor Conference Room at IFH\, and via Zoom.\nRegister to attend via Zoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/BaJ4wDpKTBezMcsqoytUAg#/registration\n

SUMMARY:NJ ACTS Special Populations Seminar with Miriam Laugesen
DESCRIPTION:Miriam J Laugesen\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, Columbia University; Associate Professor\, Department of Health Policy and Management\, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health \n“Medicaid Payment\, Managed Care Contracting\, and Administrative Accountability in New Mexico” \nThis presentation uses New Mexico as a case study to examine how Medicaid policy can improve access by addressing both provider payment and the administrative barriers that shape provider participation. Drawing on earlier work that contributed to New Mexico’s Medicaid provider rate increases and on a July 2026 report to the New Mexico Legislature\, the talk focuses on provider enrollment\, credentialing\, contracting\, and payment-system loading in Medicaid managed care. It argues that administrative simplification should be treated as a Medicaid access strategy\, alongside adequate payment rates and stronger managed care accountability. \n\nMiriam Laugesen is an expert in physician reimbursement\, primary care\, and private investment in health care. She is the author of Fixing Medical Prices: How Physicians Are Paid (Harvard University Press\, 2016)\, which has influenced debates about payment reform in the United States. She has advised state policymakers on health policy\, including through a 2026 project for the New Mexico Legislature focused on administrative simplification and an earlier engagement with the New Mexico Superintendent of Insurance concerning physician payment models. \nFrom 2023 to 2024\, Laugesen was a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow at the National Academy of Medicine. During her fellowship\, she served as a legislative fellow in the office of U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren\, contributing to legislation and oversight related to private equity investment in health care. In 2023\, she was also a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Hitachi Fellow in Japan. \n  \nRegister to attend via Zoom: https://go.rutgers.edu/496ormk8

SUMMARY:Center for Healthy Aging Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers Center for Healthy Aging Research Seminar\nfeaturing\nDavid M. Almeida\, PhD\nDistinguished Professor of Human Development and Family Studies\, Pennsylvania State University\non\n“The Surprising Science of Daily Stress and Healthy Aging”\nHealth is fundamentally a daily process\, shaped not by rare major events such as divorce\, job loss\, or serious illness\, but by the accumulation of everyday experiences. The cumulative threads of daily stress\, including exposure\, appraisal\, and responses\, form the fabric of long-term health and resilience across the lifespan. Drawing on decades of National Study of Daily Experiences (NSDE) data\, the talk introduces an Expanded Daily Stress Process Model that situates stress within daily\, person-level\, and community contexts\, as well as its immediate and long-term effects. Challenging the assumption that stress is uniformly harmful\, it highlights how manageable stress can promote adaptation and how stress processes often improve with age. By integrating psychological\, social\, and biological perspectives\, the presentation shows that understanding and optimizing daily life is key to promoting healthy aging. \n  \nDr. David Almeida is a Distinguished Professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Pennsylvania State University and a lifespan developmental psychologist whose work focuses on stress and coping in adulthood and aging. His research uses intensive longitudinal methods to capture both biological and self-reported indicators of stress and their links to health. Dr. Almeida’s work has centered on the role of daily stress in healthy aging\, while also examining stress processes across key contexts including the workplace\, family relationships\, parents of children with developmental disabilities\, and caregiving. His research demonstrates that minor but frequent daily stressors are often stronger predictors of health than major life events\, highlighting how everyday experiences accumulate to shape long-term health and aging trajectories. His work has been widely recognized\, with over 350 publications\, sustained NIH funding\, and national and international awards\, and has helped shift the field toward understanding health as a dynamic process unfolding in daily life. \nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94235830679?pwd=HNpveDfbZT1beIFRxY74sgv7xKUqLj.1 \nMeeting ID: 942 3583 0679 \nPassword: 734587
