What Will It Take To Create Health Equity?
In honor of Black History Month, the Black Genome Project (BGP) invites you to a Health Equity roundtable discussion on Thursday, February 23, from 5:30 to 7 pm. Our event,
will feature our city's very own Director of Health, Dr. Matifadza Hlatshwayo Davis, community consultant Joan R. Ferguson, Professor Vetta Sanders-Thompson, and BGP Co-Founders Brett Maricque and Chelsey Carter. We are excited to engage in a conversation about the role of outreach, education, collaboration, and community partnerships as we work to eliminate health disparities and racial inequities in St. Louis. We will also create space to discuss how the Black Genome Project strives to create health equity for Black communities in our region.
