On July 11, 2013 Pfizer and Generations United will release results
of an inter-generational survey of Atlanta respondents attitudes

WHY:
|
|
Americans are living longer and aspire to live better than ever
before. But living longer creates its own set of challenges that
many of us still aren’t dealing with. Many of the chronic conditions
plaguing Americans can be prevented by taking charge of our health
and living better.
