HDEART Highlights

Since the first workshop in 2002, held at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Health Disparities, Education, Awareness, Research & Training Consortium (now known as HDEART C), the educational program of the consortium has touched the lives of over 5000 individuals. This past year HDEART C launched the HDEART Health Equity Scholars & Alumni (HHESA) Network (https://form.jotform.com/62678696733171). The mission and goal is to establish a network of like-minded individuals who either took the Disparities in Health in America: Working Toward Social Justice Course or Workshop, trained with someone who took either, or support the need for a holistic approach to addressing health inequities. We now have established the HDEARTCONSORTIUM Linkedin Page, which has over 2000 connections and is growing at 150 per week.

Today, there are more than 500 individuals who are members of the HHESA Network. Our goal is to connect as many of the dots as possible (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lovells-food-thought-connecting-dots-lovell-jones-phd/). For there is strength in diversity. However, it can only be achieved through UNITY. Therefore, we invited you to join the HHESA) Network. For there is also strength in numbers. More information can be obtained by clicking on the button in the upper right-hand corner of this page. This summer, we have elected not to hold the Disparities in Health in America: Working Towards Social Justice Workshop. However, in the Fall 2018, we will hold the course at the University of Houston Downtown. Please contact either Dr. Heather Goltz (goltzh@uhd.edu), Henry Eliassen (eliassenh@uhd.edu) or Stacy Lloyd (stacy.lloyd@bcm.edu) for more information .
