2022 Health Equity Summit
A person’s social position, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual identity, or disability can increase their chance of experiencing a heart attack or stroke—or surviving it. How can we as providers make a difference?
In partnership with the Association of Black Cardiologists, the 2022 Health Equity Summit will offer solutions, provide tools and tips, and outline steps that can be taken at the personal, local, and national levels to close the gap in health disparities.
You have an important role to play in reducing the impact of structural racism and discrimination on our patients’ health. Join us for the Health Equity Summit to find out more!
