The National Council of La Raza (NCLR)/Cal State Long Beach (CSULB) Center for Latino Community Health, Evaluation and Leadership Training will hold its inaugural conference on health equity Friday, April 27, on campus in the USU ballrooms from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The conference, which is free of charge, is organized through the Hispanic Health Opportunities Learning Alliance (H2OLA) grant, which is funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
The title of the conference is “Strengthening Health Sciences with Culture/Fortaleciendo las Ciencias de la Salud con Cultura Conference.” H2OLA is a cross-college grant led by co-principal investigators Britt Rios-Ellis, CSULB professor of health science, and Eric Marinez, CSULB associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry.
The Health Equity Conference is designed to provide a unique opportunity for interested individuals and professionals to collaborate with national thought leaders, build consensus, make recommendations and develop strategies to promote health equity for Latinos and all underrepresented minorities nationwide.
