Hosted By: The O’Brien Institute for Public Health @ Red and White Club

The O’Brien Institute for Public Health presents its 2023 Members Forum – A healthier future for all: Mobilizing health equity research into action. This event will bring researchers, students and community organizations together to forge a collaborative path toward transformative health equity solutions.

This forum serves as the official launch of the O’Brien Institute Health Equity HUB which will act as a platform for researchers across the University of Calgary to collaborate with government and community agencies.
