HEI Board Directors and Summit Committee with RWJF Community Leader Scholarship Recipients
Keynote Speaker, Tonya Lee Lewis, JD, Entrepreneur, Producer, Writer, and Health Equity Champion
Dwayne Proctor, PhD, MA, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Guillermo Chacon, Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA), and Hispanic Health Network
HEI Founder and Board President, Dr. Renata Schiavo, introduces and kicks off the Innovation Think Tank sessions
Think Tank sessions in progress
The Summit builds upon the same kinds of interactive elements that worked so successfully during our 2016 inaugural Summit and explores three very important root causes of health inequities: race, poverty, and gender and LGBTQ issues. Our other track was dedicated to strategies for multisectoral partnerships via community and public engagement. This latter track should resonate also throughout the issues-specific panels and innovation think tanks, as we all know that race, poverty, and gender and LGBT issues need to be addressed across society.
2018 Summit Allied Organizations
