Jonathan Jackson, PhD, member of the Executive Committee of the IMPACT Health Equity team will be the keynote speaker for this virtual event.

April marks National Minority Health Month – highlighting health disparities that persist among racial and ethnic minority populations and the ways in which legislation, policies, and programs can help advance health equity. Through this annual event, it is our hope that individuals and families will feel empowered, receive information surrounding the health of communities of color, and share their knowledge with others to take charge of their health. Together, we can keep the momentum going and continue to BREAK THE SILENCE in communities of color; helping individuals and families get access to the services they need.

Registration closed.

This is a virtual event. Please RSVP by April 14, 2021. To register by phone, contact Gail Morgan at (414) 219-5124. After you register, event login instructions will be emailed to you.
