Let’s have the

Critical Health Conversations

We invite you to join the conversation on women's health. Our quarterly breakfast series discusses relevant and current health issues for women with a moderated panel of experts.  All topics examine healthcare disparities for women, particularly women of color, and the lack of women's studies and research. We discuss tools and solutions and how we can move forward by exploring the internal and external barriers to growth and healing. You’ll learn tools and techniques to make a difference in community and how to care for yourself and others in healthy, impactful ways.
