We're back! The Multicultural Health Institute's first Healing Circle of 2024 is tomorrow Wednesday, February 14, 2024 at 6pm via Zoom. Register here: https://bit.ly/mhihealingcircle 

This February, the Multicultural Health Institute recognizes American Heart Month, a time when everyone can pay attention to their cardiovascular health. Incidences/Cases of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and CVD mortality are on the rise in working-age adults, and Black adults bear the heaviest burden of CVD and its health consequences, particularly in the United States. 

Tomorrow, we pay special attention to women's cardiovascular health and listen to Dr. Bola Sogade, MD present on women and heart disease. You can register for the event here: https://bit.ly/mhihealingcircle. We look forward to seeing you soon!
