Kaiser Permanente Presents: A Way Up
Kaiser Permanente and TED partnered with local TEDx communities to create A Way Up – a multi-city initiative bringing community leaders together to discuss how we can create healthier futures in the places we call home. In each episode, host Ethan Lipsitz – Founder of Love Extremist, Kaiser Permanente patient, and brain cancer survivor – opens up a dialogue on how to strengthen the total community health of our cities.
A Way Up: TEDxMileHigh in Denver
Ethan sits down with local leaders – councilwoman Candi CdeBaca, entrepreneur Eric Kornacki, Dr. Lynnette Namba from Kaiser Permanente, and Growing Up Boulder founder Mara Mintzer – to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Denver. As one of the country's fastest growing and thriving tech hubs, housing, food, and public space all play a role in shaping the city's changing landscape.
