1968 to Now: Pittsburgh's Ongoing History of Black Community-Driven Healthcare In-Person
From the country's first paramedic service Freedom House to the community outreach work of Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force, to the trauma-informed community development of the Neighborhood Resilience Project, Pittsburgh's Black communities have a long history of creating the tools they need to tend to their neighbors and families—and in the process, have helped to push the medical field forward for everyone.
Hear local community-based health care practitioners and organizers discuss their experiences building and providing services in Pittsburgh during the last 56 years and the progress that is still being made today. Email Madelyn Glymour for more information.
This event is free and open to the public.
