Join us for an enlightening webinar that will foster open dialogue about cannabis use and equitable access as vital components of health equity.
Join us for this webinar and dive into the complexities of medical cannabis access and its implications for health equity, featuring Dr. Denise Vidot, a cannabis epidemiologist, and Weslye Saunders, an NFL athlete and mental health advocate. Together they will explore the historical landscape of medical cannabis, its ties to health disparities, and the need for equitable, informed access to medical cannabis. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to promote health equity through the lens of cannabis use, mental health, and advocacy for underrepresented populations.
The Future of Health Equity Webinar Series is led by AcademyHealth’s Health Equity and Women and Gender Health Interest Groups.
Supported by the Commonwealth Fund, a national, private foundation based in New York City that supports independent research on health care issues and makes grants to improve health care practice and policy.
