Black Health Connect Conference: The Impact of Amplifying Our Stories
Insights that can help shape the future of Black healthcare
We know Black people face barriers to care, so we went right to the source to learn more.
NOWINCLUDED launched a creator studio during Black Health Connect 2024 to hear directly from doctors, nurses, public health professionals, and more. We listened to the health topics they’re passionate about, the limitations our communities face when seeking healthcare access, and their advice for young Black professionals entering the field.
