In recent years, a notable transformation in societal awareness and efforts to combat inequities, especially in health, has taken shape. Yet, significant work lies ahead.
In partnership with the Association of Black Cardiologists, the 2023 Health Equity Summit will provide a platform to learn more about the interplay between social determinants, identity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Strengthen your position as healthcare providers in shaping impartial cardiovascular outcomes and gain insights from distinguished national experts in health equity and CVD as we delve into potent strategies for confronting health disparities directly.
Your participation has the power to drive pivotal change. We hope to see you there!
