St. John the Divine Offers Health Disparities Webinar Series

The pandemic has shone a light on the pre-existing problem of health disparity. In this webinar series, learn about what health disparities are, the consequences of living with stressors including long-term poverty, and what we can do to address it. Faculty from the University of Houston College of Medicine will present an overview of health disparities and consequent adverse outcomes common among lower socio-economic groups in Houston and across the United States. In addition, the Executive Director of the Episcopal Health Foundation will review current interventions and potential strategies intended to address social determinants of health (SDOH) underlying these disparities. Finally, ways in which the Church can engage the Community will be considered.
