Before that, Dr. Iton served as Director and Health Officer at the Alameda County Public Health Department, where he pioneered research showing that a ZIP code is a stronger predictor of life expectancy than genetic code. That work has shaped national conversations about the social determinants of health.
Dr. Iton holds an MD from Johns Hopkins University, a JD and an MPH from UC Berkeley, and a BS in Neurophysiology from McGill University. He is a Lecturer in Health Policy and Management at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health.
"When it comes to health, your zip code matters more than your genetic code."
