- A Johnson & Johnson sponsored story-telling session where we will hear directly from health workers who are innovating and advocating every day to deliver better care to their communities. Storytellers will share their personal stories on the challenges they face; how they are driving solutions; and how we can better support their needs to ensure that everyone has access to quality care, including Healthy Communities fellows Veron Blue, Founder and Executive Director of Faith & Community Wellness Center, Inc., and Chris McNeil, Emergency Medicine Physician and Founder of Youth Medical Mentorship. They will also speak to issues that range from working with the faith community to destigmatize mental healthcare to creating a more diverse and representative pipeline of health workers to address health equity.

When we vote, organize, volunteer, and create spaces and opportunities to connect with others, we join in the shared responsibility of nurturing our collective well-being. From cultivating communal gardens to uniting a sisterhood of walkers to mobilizing healthcare providers to vote, we’ll hear from local leaders who are taking action to strengthen the civic health of their communities.
June 23, 2023, 4:10 PM – 5:00 PM | Designing Global Health Systems for the Future
