| Health Care Disparities Project Seeks Stories |
|
From the CT Multicultural Health Partnership:
We are developing the Faces of Health Disparities exhibit, video, and commercials/public-service-announcements. For these products to represent diverse populations in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, age, geography, etc, we need to search throughout the state for individuals who have experienced health disparities and are willing to tell their story. We know the true experiences of CT residents are more compelling than any we could create. Plus, true stories authenticate the message.
