We are looking forward to the featured speaker, Marcella Nunez-Smith, MD, MHS, and her presentation on Centering Equity in the U.S. Pandemic Response: Ensuring Equitable Care Beyond COVID.

Understanding the critical role patients, community, and team-informed science plays in health research, it is important to promote, facilitate, and reward team and community engaged science.
This conference explores the rich interplay of community and academia and how communities can guide meaningful research priorities and relevant programs and providers. Participants will engage with other regional health researchers, community-based organizations, and public health professionals to address health equity in our communities and region.
The conference will be virtual. Individual registration is $100; Non-Profit. Community Health Workers and Student rate is $50.
We look forward to seeing you!
