Thriving While Black and Brown: Wellness, Policy & the Power of Place

Rooted in Wellness reminds us that it is community—where so many of us find our roots of support—that is the core of progress to lead healthier lives for our mind, body, and soul. The impact of our annual Rooted in Wellness Day is to bring communities that are not reached by the traditional healthcare system closer to health-promoting resources, access to health screenings, and to connect with local leaders who will directly impact the progress of health equity in their communities through health policies and mutual aid.

Join us from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a day of collective action. Rooted in Wellness Day brings communities together across the state to offer local resources that support community well-being and agency, such as heart health screenings, mammograms, immunizations, and information about health insurance. As OUR communities gain greater access to resources and screenings that support their health and well-being while receiving education on healthcare issues impacting them locally and statewide, we will see communities that are healthier and more informed about the interconnectedness of democracy and health equity.
