Thursday, December 3, 2020, 12:00 AM - Saturday, December 3, 2022, 11:59 PM

Health disparities among various individuals and communities have always been present; however, recent events and the severe impact of COVID-19 on specific communities highlights a critical need to address these issues within our system and community.
