This year their event will be called Our Health\, Our Voices\, Our Future!

Through personal stories\, professional insight\, and shared dialogue\, the panel will create space for education\, truth-telling\, and empowerment grounded in knowledge\, advocacy\, and community care. \n\n\n\nThis program is intentionally designed to move from awareness to action. Guests will experience moments of reflection\, recognition\, and vision-setting with a presentation on the Bridgette’s House project\, Cierra Sisters’ long-term vision for a rest and respite center for women navigating cancer. The gathering concludes with a communal meal\, a curated vendor marketplace\, music\, and opportunities for connection because information\, healing\, and joy are strongest when shared in community.  \n\n\n\nThis event is promoted as a community resource and is not sponsored by UW Medicine or the Office of Healthcare Equity.
