What: Health Care Disparities Summit

When: 23-24 April 2006

Where: Washington Duke Inn at 3001 Cameron Blvd., in Durham

This two-day summit, hosted by Duke University Health System, will address the need for access to preventive care that many minority and low-income groups across the state do not have. Participants, who include prominent national, state and local leaders, will discuss issues that create the health care gaps and what can be done to eliminate them.

This summit hopes to build partnerships between health and government leaders and communities that will address the lack of access to care that many low-income and minority groups face living in North Carolina.
