Roots Community Health proudly celebrates Black Health Equity Advocacy Week, an initiative created by our partners, the California Black Health Network, that aims to dismantle health disparities and uplift Black Californians. Advocating for policies prioritizing community well-being is one of our main pillars, rooted in the belief that health should be fair and inclusive, especially for those impacted by systemic inequities and poverty. Our efforts span impactful initiatives like Dr. Noha Aboelata addressing workforce and homelessness at the @nuoakland's C2C Impact Engine Oakland Spring Conference and Monika Scott-Davis's testimony before CA Assembly, highlighting the importance of workforce diversity for marginalized communities. Lastly, Alma Burrell was able to shed light on systemic biases in healthcare at the @scc_publichealth Perinatal Equity Conference. Roots Community Health drives systemic change, advocating for a future free of health disparities. As we celebrate Black Health Equity Advocacy Week, envision a world where equity guides every decision, and every person has access to the care they deserve. #RootsEmpowers #BlackHealthEquity #RootsAdvocacy #CommunityHealth #BlackHealthAdvocacy #PublicHealth
