HUES Women’s Health Advocacy Institute fosters conversation, community, advocacy, research and education to empower women of color in navigating health and wellness systems. Funds will be used for the Summer Youth Health Ambassador Program, which provides workforce development and a health equity initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of female healthcare leaders in Montgomery County. By engaging young women early and equipping them with soft skills in health communication, advocacy and leadership, HUES aims to build a pipeline of culturally competent professionals indigenous to the communities most affected by health disparities.
