Our August 2021 health page will focus on emergency preparedness including challenges, assets; racial/ethnic disparities, available resources, engagement opportunities, and also action steps for folks to take charge of their own health.

Available resources, engagement opportunities, and action steps for folks to take charge of their own health will also be a highlight during the noon to 1 p.m. session. As always, the space will be one of dialogue, resources and the dissemination of health education that is relevant. Please follow the link below to secure your spot for this virtual event!

The Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of Pittsburgh partners with the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh and UPMC and puts together the Take Charge of Your Health page in the New Pittsburgh Courier monthly. Our goal with the lunch and learn series is to lift up the community voice alongside the academics presenting their work in the space. We hope to create opportunities to co-create and co-learn around a health topic that is relevant.
