An Evening of DC Voices of Health and Care
Description
Come celebrate the voices shaping health in DC—from organizational leaders to residents sharing their everyday experiences through collected oral histories.
This event highlights a diverse group of organizational leaders in DC advancing care, well-being, and equity across the city through the DC Voices of Care: Oral History Project, led by a team as part of the Georgetown University Global Cities Urban Innovation Initiative. We will also feature the stories of native Washingtonians shared through the Listening for Health project, sponsored by the Georgetown-Howard Center for Medical Humanities & Health Justice.
All oral histories from both projects will be archived at the DC History Center.
