| This session is very important as we struggle to decrease the health disparity gap among the communities of color around the world. These presentations weave a challenging pattern for participants to examine and discuss. Most communities of color have mutiple disparities which include medical/health issues, access issues and social issues. This session addresses a multi-dimensional approach to problems facing communities of color. | ||||
