The 2024 Inaugural Biennial Molina Health Equity Summit will convene students, faculty, and professionals engaged in health equity and social justice research, teaching, and service focused on the needs of Latino/Hispanic communities.
Hosted by the CUNY SPH Foundation, this half-day forum will take place on October 10th, 2024, in the CUNY SPH auditorium. Molina Scholars, recipients of the Marilyn Aguirre-Molina and Carlos W.
