The monthly lecture series is aired at the South Jordan campus for the first time.

On September 19, 2024, Roseman University’s Neighborhood Health Series made its Utah debut, airing at the South Jordan campus for the first time in its nine-year run.

The Neighborhood Health Series is a monthly lecture series that builds communities by enabling individuals to take their health into their own hands. This series has hosted a variety of Roseman University experts across disciplines including associate professor, Dr. Alice Chen; AEODO program director, Dr. Glen Roberson; and Assistant Dean for Patient Care and Clinical Education, Dr. Matthew Thacker.

If you haven’t already seen their incredible lectures, please take a moment to check them out:

On October 17, 2024, another College of Dental Medicine assistant professor, Dr. Civon Gewelber will present about the link between overall health and oral health in her presentation entitled “Bolstering Oral Health in Patient Populations Including Those Medically Fragile: The Path to Healthier Mouths & Bodies”. To reserve your spot, register by October 16, 2024.

The event’s organizer, Vanessa Maniago, Vice President for Strategic Implementation and Engagement loves this event because of the impact it has on the public. “I have seen the power of community—it really is transformative,” she shared. “These are sensitive topics and people really allow themselves to be vulnerable for the sake of learning.”

This lecture series is free and open to the public. Guests who attend in-person will receive a complimentary meal.

This event has been sponsored by Clark County Credit Union, since its inception in 2015. Please join us in thanking them for their invaluable partnership!
