It is important for health care leaders to understand the impact of racism, implicit bias and health inequities on access to and quality of HIV care and treatment for Black Women. As supported by data, increased morbidity and mortality among Black Women will remain constant if these healthcare realities are not successfully addressed.
Our webinar speakers Dr. Dazon Diallo and Ethlyn McQueen-Gibson will explore how providers and clients can maximize health promotion and wellness, resilience, and self care education, leading to necessary positive and sustainable change.
