Black Health’s Health Equity Summit Event is a student-led event held at Lehman College in collaboration with the City University of New York (CUNY) institutions (Lehman and Hostos Community Colleges). The summit attracts a diverse array of participants, including students enrolled in degree programs and stakeholders from the public and private sectors who are dedicated to addressing health disparities that impact Black and Brown communities, specifically communities in the Bronx, New York. The summit centers around Black Health’s three pillars – education, policy and advocacy – addressing topics ranging from HIV/AIDS, mental health, diabetes, and other health disparities that disproportionately affect Black and Brown Communities. The summit highlights the importance of engaging young people and educating them not only about health, but also about their roles in civic engagement and advocacy. By gaining an understanding of the social and political determinants of health, youth can develop the tools to come up with creative solutions that promote health equity for communities disproportionality impacted by health disparities.
