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.
