Health Equity Breakfast Series
The Health Equity Breakfast Series brings together health professionals, advocates, and community members for conversations highlighting what works to advance health equity through culturally responsive, whole person care. Past topics include culturally responsive end-of-life care, integration of traditional healing practices, and community-led strategies to heal from gun violence. Join the conversation on whole person care by joining our event listserv or registering for an upcoming Health Equity Breakfast.
8:30-10 a.m. | Thursday, Oct. 29
Too often, we hear about health disparities impacting Native American communities without also learning about promising strategies to improve health outcomes. Dr. Antony Stately and other leaders from the Native American Community Clinic (NACC), a health care clinic founded with a mission to promote health and wellness of mind, body and spirit in Native American families, will talk about their approach at our next Health Equity Breakfast at Wilder Foundation.
Attendees will hear how NACC's model of care centers Indigenous knowledge and wisdom, and learn about ways that spiritual practices and ceremonies are being integrated with Western medicine to improve health outcomes.
