EmpowerHer Black Women’s Health Conference
October 4 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Presented by the Boston Public Health Commission,
EmpowerHer aims to provide Black women of the African diaspora and their communities with the necessary resources to lead fulfilled lives by addressing health disparities, enhancing access to healthcare, and fostering holistic well-being. Thus, our tagline: Inspiring Black Women, Amplifying Voices, Cultivating Health.
The EmpowerHer Black Women’s Health Conference will convene Black women and allies across multiple sectors to collectively forge a new way forward to address persistent inequities in health outcomes among Black women in Boston.
Our goal is to inform, educate, and engage Black women of the African diaspora in Boston. The conference will feature panel discussions, keynote presentations, and networking opportunities. BPHC’s inaugural event will start a broader women’s health initiative in Greater Boston.
Join us for dynamic discussions on cardio-metabolic disease, cervical and reproductive health, financial health and wellness and more!
EmpowerHer’s keynote address will feature Melissa Gilliam, MD MPH, President Boston University
Please join us for a networking social after the event, 5:00 PM-6:00 PM.
