It was great to see the variety of different perspectives and experiences on this panel, with many takeaways to reflect upon. As Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said at the end of the panel, 'If we truly want to lift up everyone, we have to move together.'

Thank you to all of our presenters, panelists, and participants (in-person and virtual) for an incredible day!

Special thanks to our organizers Dr. Gezzer Ortega, Dr. Rose Molina, Dr. Jorge Rodriguez, Dr. Brittany Dacier, Dr. Sucharita Kher, & Rachel Murphy.
