Jana Kay Slater Chair	Jana Kay Slater, PhD, is Director of the Samaritan Health Services Center for Health Research and Quality.   As a research psychologist employed by a healthcare system, Jana Kay is particularly interested in social determinants of health, which include employment opportunity and job security.  Slater comments, “The employment and training topics addressed by the Linn, Benton, Lincoln Workforce Investment Board have wide-ranging health effects.  When people in our community are unemployed or lack skills needed to earn a living wage, their health and the health of their family suffers.  The research is unequivocal:  The greatest risk to health is poverty.  I am delighted to be part of a group that strives to reduce this risk in our tri-county region.
