The Health and Equity Forum discussed various Department of Health initiatives and community-based events, with a focus on promoting health and wellness in underserved communities. Some key topics included a new initiative to reduce drug-related harm through "Health to Go Vetting Machines," colorectal cancer prevention measures, and a program for individuals who lack health insurance. The forum also touched on maternal and infant health, with a focus on improving outcomes for black women, and upcoming events such as Juneteenth celebrations, a mental health awareness day, and community wellness day. The team encouraged attendees to share their experiences and reach out with any questions or concerns.
