We're excited to welcome Ala Stanford, MD, FACS, FAAP and Daniel Dawes to our Health Equity Summit this year! The annual event is a unique opportunity for us to listen and learn from industry experts and actively engage our members through feedback sessions to inform our strategy. 📚 Daniel Dawes is a widely respected health equity and policy expert. His book, The Political Determinants of Health, addresses the social and political factors that determine health and how they contribute to exacerbating health inequities experienced around the world. 👩⚕️ Dr. Stanford gained international recognition during the COVID-19 pandemic by creating the Black Doctors Consortium at the Dr. Ala Stanford Center for Health Equity — a grassroots organization focused on education, testing, contact tracing, and vaccination in communities lacking access to care and resources. Mark your calendar for October 7, 2024. Registration opens in September. 🗓️
