Description

The HOPE Symposium, hosted by the HOPE Collaborative at Michigan Medicine, brings together education leaders, medical experts, students and families who want to learn more, do more, and commit to action together to create social transformation. To achieve true equity in Michigan and confront enormous disparities in health and learning outcomes, we must proactively recruit, train, and retain aspiring doctors and healthcare leaders from cities of greatest need and create environments where their talents can thrive. Today, we have the potential to alleviate poverty, create generational wealth, improve patient outcomes, and heal communities. Join us to be a part of the movement at #impactingHOPE. Featured: Dr. H.
