Individuals have the right to attain their highest level of health but policies often do not match the realities. Join Dr. Kenya Beard on Oct. 11 for a powerful discussion on “Health Equity Through My Lens.” We’ll explore the face of health equity in your community, reflect on current challenges, and share critical approaches to advancing health equity.
