Join us for the HES Walk for Health Equity on Sunday, October 12th at Bushnell Park! This event is more than a walk – it’s a powerful statement that the current systems in place do not meet the needs of all people who live in Connecticut, particularly our Black and Brown communities that are disproportionately impacted by health disparities. Walk with us in this movement for justice.
