In an online convening on April 28, PHA both celebrated a decade of impact and launched the next wave of innovation from PHA and its partners. After 10 years of market disruption in the health and nutrition space, we have never been more certain of the opportunity to fulfill our mission: enabling Americans to lead healthier lives, free from diet-related conditions, by leveraging the power of the private sector, all in pursuit of health equity.

Featuring opening remarks by California Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, this is the first in a series of webinars that will explore research demonstrating how racism and other forms of discrimination can serve as risk factors to activate a toxic stress response, and lead to health conditions that have been empirically associated with exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

This webinar will:

• Review some of the main social and environmental factors that lead to health disparities, as well as the impacts of racism and discrimination on public health across communities.
• Broadly discuss the role of racism and discrimination as risk factors for toxic stress and ACE-Associated Health Conditions
• Make the case to clinicians and clinical teams that implementing trauma-informed care principles and ACE screening can help promote health equity as part of supporting the health and well-being of their patients.
