Building a Future to Remember

April is National Minority Health Month, a time to recognize persistent health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations and the ways in which legislation, policies and programs can advance health equity. Together, we can continue to break the silence in communities of color and help individuals and families get access to the services they need. After two years of virtual events, we were glad to return to hosting an in person Breaking the Silence event. The event on Friday, April 21 included keynote presentations by Mark Sager, MD, Art Walaszek, MD, and an inspiring talk by Antonio Freeman, former NFL Green Bay Packers.
