Really glad to have gone to the Health Equity Conference held by the Lutheran Clergy of Baltimore City at Epiphany Lutheran Church this morning. Had a chance to see my old friend Vinny DeMarco of Maryland Health Care for All! and presentations by state officials with important responsibilities relating to health disparities, health access, and health insurance. Thank you, Christine Myers Parker for extending the invitation!
