Event Description
This National Health Equity Grand Rounds event served as a proverbial State of the Union for health justice work in the United States. Nationally renowned speakers including public health leaders, healthcare professionals, policy experts and organizers with deep experience in community-based health justice work gathered to share their perspectives on where we collectively stand in our efforts to advance public health for all people living in the United States. They dove into successful efforts to advance health equity, discussed the coordinated efforts to dismantle this work in various parts of the country, and identified strategies to counter resistance while building a stronger multiracial democracy equipped to support health for every individual and community.
