Coming to you live from Facing Race: A National Convening, the next National Health Equity Grand Rounds on November 21 at 2:00 PM CT will be hosted in-person and streamed to a virtual audience at the largest multiracial, intergenerational racial justice conference in the United States. Bringing together thought leaders from diverse backgrounds, "Rewrite the Script: Narrative Transformation for Equity in Health," the National Health Equity Grand Rounds event will explore how changing dominant, harmful narratives can advance health equity.
