“Community conversations: sister to sister aims to: remove barriers to improved health outcomes in the black community by providing a forum for open and honest dialogue between key stakeholders. Empower community participants as they navigate the medical system in search for the highest quality care for themselves and their families.”

“Community conversations: sister to sister, a womens health initiative, is an open forum to explore health issues of relevance to black women and their families. Startling disparities in morbidity, mortality, and access to high-quality healthcare for u.s. Black women are well-documented. To combat these disparities, we host monthly meetings in a local hair salon that bring together black women with a rotating multidisciplinary team of black women health professionals for informal and candid conversation. Having regular opportunities to meet with other black women to discuss health and practice health-related conversations can improve our participants' health and wellness experience. Through our efforts, we: - build a sense of community - address the legacy of mistrust between the black and medical communities to foster greater access to healthcare resources - consider the root causes of socioeconomic ills and provide solutions - prioritize womens health and promote self-care as an essential part of a womans role within the family.”
