At The Heart of the Matter Town Hall: Building an Action Plan
Date & Time:
October 7th, 2021 from 5:00 pm – 7:30pm EST
Description:
In August and September, CCPH and partners brought to its virtual table an HBCU community of students, clinicians, researchers, and educators with patients, caregivers, and African-American community organizations for a series of bi-weekly discussions on CVD and its intersection with COVID-19, Black women’s health, and mental health. This WEBINAR SERIES will culminate with a VIRTUAL TOWN HALL where participants, guided by patient-centered outcome research processes, (PCOR) work together to develop a culturally responsive framework for cardiovascular research and patient engagement.
