Thank you for all who attended the 2nd Annual CEHDL Conference at UConn and making this a successful undertaking. We felt that the speakers were outstanding and the information that they presented was so important as we work towards eliminating health disparities among minorities.
Below you will find photos from the event, as well as the presentations from the speakers and video clips of the conference.
