Lions,
Hundreds gathered on the campus of Florida Memorial University for the Third Annual Black Health Summit.
Some of the most prominent voices in Black healthcare spoke about the importance of advancing Black health equity in South Florida.
On Thursday, there were workshops and lectures focusing on the social and political determinants of health with the following themes: Political Drivers of Health, Black Men’s Health, and Access to Healthcare.
There were many notable speakers, including NBA Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning, who left an indelible mark during his tenure with the Miami Heat.
Mourning spoke openly about his recent surgery to remove his prostate after a cancer diagnosis, telling men they need to take control and be proactive about their health.
FMU has been honored to host the event over the past three years.
