"The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being..." from the WHO Constitution.

Health Care Costs, Health Equity, Social Justice, and Environmental Justice are all aspects of a larger discussion about health for each individual as well as regional and global communities.

This gathering brings forth different views and personal experiences, and then deepens the discussion through a facilitated community dialogue. We will ask community members, health care providers and city/county officials to present their experience to initiate our discussion.

  • What is health?
  • What influences the relationship with our providers?
  • How can we empower ourselves and our communities to stay healthy?

Cost: Suggested donation $10
