National Health Equity Grand Rounds: Narrative Transformation for Equity in Health

Join us for the next National Health Equity Grand Rounds as we explore the power of narrative transformation to advance health equity. National thought leaders from diverse backgrounds, including physicians, writers, artists and digital media experts, will share their insights on how to challenge harmful narratives and reshape how we think about health.

The next National Health Equity Grand Rounds event will be coming to you live from Facing Race: A National Convening and will be live streamed to a virtual audience. As part of our collaborative effort to drive change, the AMA is proud to be a Trailblazer Sponsor and host of a live, hybrid, National Health Equity Grand Rounds panel on the main stage at Facing Race. 

Facing Race is the nation’s largest multiracial, intergenerational racial justice conference. This biennial, one-of-a-kind space serves as a vital intersection where community organizers, activists, and movement makers converge to build power and strategies to advance racial justice.
