Each month's forum brings together health equity champions who live, work, play, worship, or learn in Anne Arundel County for the purpose of information-sharing, idea exchange, and meaningful conversations about social drivers of health and efforts to unlock opportunity for everyone to achieve their best health.

Register to attend virtually or in person: AAHealth.org/health-equity-forums#register
