Hartel took up a somewhat nomadic life, traveling to write on ecosystem
health and to paint in wild places throughout the United States and
British Columbia, Canada. She graduated from Columbia University with
a doctorate in epidemiology and concentrations in infectious diseases
and environment-related chronic diseases. She has held faculty positions
at Columbia University and Einstein College of Medicine in New York
City, and has published widely for biomedical journals, including, as a
co-author, in The New England Journal of Medicine. Additionally, she
served at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland for
three years, chairing inter-agency projects with the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. She created two non-profit organizations, Bronx
Community Works in New York in 1993 and Madrona Arts in Oregon in
2006. Both organizations addressed issues of social and environmental
justice. The Oregon-based Madrona Arts primarily employed arts to
raise awareness of ecosystems and efforts to restore lives within them,
human and non-human.voir moins
