Our Power, Our Solutions

We sat down with our incredible partners and host committee members to hear firsthand how our conference theme shapes their daily efforts to build a more just, thriving, and resilient St. Louis. Through a series of video interviews, these local leaders share their insights on how the theme manifests in their ongoing work in St. Louis and beyond.

Health Equity on the Main Stage

As part of their collaborative effort to drive change, the American Medical Association (AMA) is proud to be a Trailblazer Sponsor and host of a live, hybrid National Health Equity Grand Rounds panel on the main stage at Facing Race.

National thought leaders from diverse backgrounds—including physicians, authors, artists, and digital media experts—will share insights on challenging harmful dominant narratives in medicine and reshaping how we think about health.

Join us November 21 at 2:00 PM CT, virtually, for an impactful National Health Equity Grand Rounds event, "Rewrite the Script: Narrative Transformation for Equity in Health," to learn how we can shape dominant narratives to advance equity in healthcare for all our communities.

Register for Facing Race to attend this session in person, or sign up here to join virtually.

Don’t miss out! Secure your ticket today, and we’ll see you in November! 

Warmly,

The Facing Race Team
