Addressing Stigma, Health Disparities, and COVID-19's Role in Affecting Workforce Retention

The STAR² Center invites health center staff to participate in this webinar focused on the intersection of health disparities, COVID-19, and stigma on August 26 from 2:00-3:00pm ET. Stigma plays a pivotal role in the health disparities and inequities faced by the patients and communities that health centers serve. In fact, stigma is not just proximal to negative health outcomes, but one of its root causes. Adding to this, is COVID-19's role in amplifying the problem. Learn more and register for this session today.
