Each participant was asked to share a personal thought about a potential actionable idea for forging productive collaborations among faith-based organizations, public health, and health care systems by writing it on an index card.

American culture places a lot of faith in markets, medicine, trickle-down economics, and technologies, which present both benefit and harm, he said.
