The Anti-Racism Task Force continues the work of becoming an antiracist community by offering a 1-day Health Equity Workshop on July 29th from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The health disparities in Kalamazoo County affect birth outcomes, life expectancy, disease and illness that parallels what is happening across the United States. Join both health care providers and recipients of health care in exploring how our institutions can identify and work towards becoming an anti-racist multicultural institution.
