The Phoebe Diversity Council held a daylong retreat today at Albany State University. Our discussions largely centered around health equity and actions we can take to ensure we are offering everyone in our community access to quality care and the opportunity to reach their individual optimal health and wellness. We thank Dr. Byron Hunter from Emory Healthcare for his insight and expertise.
