One of the highlights for me was hearing about the “equity by design” approach to addressing health inequities from the Secretary of HHS, Xavier Becerra. It’s a good starting point.

It was such an honor to be invited to participate in the White House Minority Health Forum, convened by the Office of Science & Technology Policy. Looking forward to continuing the conversation about what is needed to drive progress towards health equity for all!

AC3 have provided me with mentorship, training, and career development since I was a graduate student. It was truly life changing and encouraging to be in Kenya. Still recovering from 22 hours of flying.

Community involvement is the key to neutralizing the distrust of the medical system in LMICs.Honored & inspired to see a powerful demonstration of ACCC efforts in Africa to help dispel myths & establish trusted relationships.
