Why We're Coming Together
Building on the success of our inaugural symposium, the 2025 event will focus on advancing health equity by addressing social and structural determinants of health. Our goal is to bring together diverse participants from the Stanford community to collaborate on innovative strategies for promoting equity and improving health outcomes for historically marginalized communities
We’re thrilled to feature a fireside chat and book signing with Dr. Uché Blackstock, a physician and thought leader on bias and racism in healthcare, as well as the founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity.
