AN EVENING OF IMPACT

Join us on October 29, 2025 for a transformative evening of learning and networking while exploring the unique needs and gaps in Black women’s health. With a spotlight on prevention, healthy living and menopause, this year's summit will address some of the healthcare challenges that members of the Black community, particularly women, experience due to the intersectionality of race, gender and health.

 

The fifth Black Women’s Healthcare Summit is a gathering place for those who believe in allyship, advocacy, and action surrounding Black women’s health, the health of their families, and their communities.

 

Together, we can continue to tackle systemic disparities and revolutionize healthcare for all.
