SUMMARY:Exodus From Tyranny:  Fighting for Just Systems as a  National\, State\, and Local Imperative
DESCRIPTION:The Bloustein School Community and Belonging Lecture \nIn the face of a collapsing public health infrastructure and deliberate attacks on government institutions and human and civil rights\, community health and our collective well-being are at risk. As the pendulum swings widely\, the fair solution is to build lasting safe spaces for equity and inclusion\, where health equity and social justice can be achieved. While various populations are pushed off the “Cliff of Good Health\,” the power of data stories\, coalition building\, storytelling for change\, and strong policy advocacy ensures the will of the people remains heard. \nDr. Chris T. Pernell is a dynamic physician leader and social change agent. In her practice\, she focuses on health justice\, community-based advocacy\, and population-wide health promotion and disease prevention. A celebrated visionary and apostle of public health\, Dr. Chris serves as the Director of the NAACP Center for Health Equity. The Center is charged with driving equitable health outcomes and transforming healthcare systems while valuing the whole person. Prior to joining the nation’s oldest and most venerable civil rights organization\, she launched The Esther Group\, a public health consulting and health equity strategy firm. As founder of The Esther Group\, she lives the mandate to dare a future where organizations\, communities and systems can innovate for a better world and humanity. \nSpace is limited and RSVP is encouraged. RSVP HERE.
