Women’s Health Panel; Addressing Systemic Racism In Healthcare

 The YWCA Tulsa Women’s Health Panel is an opportunity for professional women to educate interested parties on the topics of health advocacy, financial empowerment, racism as a social determinant, and increasing access to healthy food in Tulsa’s food deserts. 

This panel will give an inside look into the eyes of women who work and assist in creating solutions around these disparities daily. This event is creating a space to help discuss methods to reduce negative health outcomes within the BIPOC community by educating and providing additional tools to all community members. It could also serve as a safe space for anyone interested to receive feedback about personal experiences with trauma or find healthy resources for friends and family. The Women’s Health Panel will be an opportunity you do not want to miss!
