Prior to returning to her native home in the Edmonton area in 2018, Dr. Lee spent 15 years in the United States, first as a "disease detective" at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), then as Deputy to the Assistant Commissioner of Health for Chronic Disease Prevention and Director of the Built Environment Program in New York City. Dr. Lee and her team helped the City of New York become a “Fit City” and saw childhood obesity decrease and life expectancy increase at higher rates than other places in the country.

Dr. Lee has worked with over 40 cities around the world and with over 150 partners in Canada to create the U of A’s Healthy Community Guidelines. For more information about Dr. Lee and her work, please visit: www.drkarenlee.com.
