Event Description: 
For this year’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration, we focus on addressing historical and present-day race-based medicine and its harmful effects on communities of color. We center our efforts on systemic and institutional determinants of health. As we explore the root causes of inequitable health outcomes, we will gain the insight necessary to change them. In celebrating best practices and listening to community leaders, we can reimagine a future of healing.
