BLKHLTH Bodega and Panel at CBCF ALC54 2025
an immersive experience and critical conversation on the future of health equity
The Bodega Experience
Almost one thousand attendees dropped into the BLKHLTH Bodega. In partnership with Amgen, we helped folks envision what a corner store would look like in a future where health equity is real. Instead of just coming in for a quick snack—visitors received free heart health screenings with Black Heart Association, snackable health equity insights and goodies, and opportunities to advocate for a healthier future.
BLKHLTH Conversations: Advocating for a heart Healthy Future
We came together for an honest, solutions-driven conversation about how to build a heart-healthy future for our communities. Thank you to our brilliant and passionate panelists — Dr. Uche Blackstock, Melodie Narain, Hyvelle Ferguson-Davis, Congressman Herb Conaway, M.D., and Dr. Eddie Hackler III—for sharing your wisdom and lived experiences.
