Black History Month

Black History Month is a time to celebrate and recognize the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history. This year, we want to focus on a particularly important aspect of Black history: health equity. Despite progress in many areas, the Black community continues to face systemic health disparities that impact their physical and mental well-being. During Black History Month, we are committed to shining a light on these inequalities and working towards solutions that ensure health equity for all.
