Save the Date: Black Health & Wellness Roundtable with
CMS Administrator
You
are cordially invited by Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services
(CMS) Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure to attend a special
live-streamed virtual roundtable discussion to acknowledge Black
History Month. Administrator Brooks-LaSure is the first Black woman to
serve as Administrator of CMS and has made health equity a top priority
of the agency which provides health coverage to 150 million people
nationwide through Medicare, Medicaid & CHIP and the Marketplaces.
In
this roundtable, we’ll explore themes of the work CMS can do to further
address racial disparities and advance health equity. We’ll also
discuss how Black leaders are making history in the health care system
and the unique role HBCUs play in rebuilding the healthcare system,
particularly in a post-COVID world. Finally, we want to elevate
discussion about how CMS can encourage more providers to enter the
medical field and in particular to practice in underserved communities.
As
part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s activities to
celebrate Black History Month, CMS will celebrate advances
to improve the health of Black people across the United States, to help
amplify where changes still need to be made in health care and
highlight the commitment CMS is making to address systemic racism and
move the needle.
YOU
are invited hear our panelists speak to their work to support the Black
talent pipeline in the health care system. We hope you will join us.

Date: February 24, 2022 Time: 3:00 pm (EST)
