Join Us for An Evening of Celebration and Enlightening Conversation as we Commemorate the Book Release of Take Care of Them Like My Own: Faith, Fortitude and a Surgeon’s Fight for Health Justice, Sponsored by Friends of Dr. Ala Stanford.
Philadelphia native and founder of the Black Doctors Consortium, Dr. Ala Stanford’s insightful new book highlights the devastating racial injustices in our healthcare system. Part memoir, part manifesto for health equality and justice, Take Care of Them Like My Own offers urgent lessons about the power of communities working together to take care of one another and the importance of fighting for a healthcare system that truly fulfills its promise to all Americans.
