Roundtable: From Talk to Action: How Can You Advance Health Equity?

Please join Arlesia Bailey, Stephanie Hillman, and Victoria Garcia Tamayo for a small group discussion on moving beyond building awareness about health inequities to taking action. This roundtable will equip innovators and changemakers who want to create change with evidence-informed practices that engage colleagues and honor communities.

These three women bring experiences from health systems, clinical operations, and community health. They will share examples of improving health equity by centering community members and mobilizing around areas of need. Bring your successes and failures to share. We want to learn together!
