ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
SBH REGIONAL FORUM
The Center for Black Health & Equity is pleased to host the State of Black Health, the most compelling convening of public health professionals and community advocates concerned with achieving health equity for African Americans. Through panels, special activations and interactive workshops, we engage attendees in constructive dialogue about the root causes of health disparities including institutional racism, economic disparities and chronic disease.
