Join us for this year's fourth Anti-Racist and Health Equity Series with speaker, James Kuemmerle

Topic: From Place-Based Disparities to Community-Led Solutions
Date: Wednesday, June 17th: 11:30 am - 1 pm

From Place-Based Disparities to Community-Led Solutions is a 90-minute interactive, trauma-informed training designed for public health and community leaders working in rural and frontier Colorado.

Participants will examine why traditional urban equity models often fall short in rural settings and will gain practical, place-based tools to advance health equity through asset-based framing, cross-sector partnerships, culturally responsive engagement, and rural-appropriate evaluation strategies
