Finding Solutions, Connecting the Dots: Regional Health Equity & Inequities 

League Day 2024 focuses on creating healthy communities and the inter-connections of health and policy. Experts will define the interrelationship of social, economic, education, and healthy living, and discuss solutions to Bay Area health equity and inequities. Speakers will discuss the right to a clean and healthy environment where communities can live, work, learn, play, and thrive. They will explore the impact of housing affordability and stability on health, and the environmental impact on health, exposure to toxins, and location exposure impacting communities of color.  They will also examine the learning environment, the physical and mental health and well-being of students, from cyber bullying and suicide to counselors.
