Public health expert Denard Cummings, the AMA’s director of equitable healthy system integration, will lead a free online session on how health systems can turn their commitment to racial and health equity into action on September 13, from 11 am to 12:30 pm. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for Q & A and small group discussions.
Cummings’ presentation is being hosted by the Minnesota Health Equity Community of Practice (CoP), a peer network dedicated to advancing health equity and addressing the significant racial and ethnic health disparities that persist throughout our state. As part of the CoP, health equity leaders and professionals come together every two to three months to exchange expertise, network, and discuss issues and priorities.
The CoP is open to all professionals and leaders from Minnesota health systems, medical groups, and medical associations with an interest in health equity. If you are interested in joining or learning more, please contact Haley Brickner, the MMA’s health equity coordinator.
Convening the Community of Practice is made possible by support from UCare.
