Dear Aging and Disability Network Partners:

I am passing along some information about July webinar opportunity I recently learned about that may be of interest to you:

Due to the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, the National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) is developing innovative ways to continue engaging, informing and listening to communities. For 51 years, NHCOA has worked to improve the lives of Hispanic older adults, their families, and caregivers.

One way in which NHCOA is addressing this current public health crisis is through a series of webinars focused on topics that are extremely important in light of COVID-19. Using a virtual format allows us to continue to serve our mission while protecting communities and following the CDC and WHO's guidelines on physical distancing. This next COVID-19 webinar will focus on health inequities and how COVID-19 has exacerbated many of these inequities for high-risk communities of color, LGBT communities and older adults.

This webinar will provide an open space for communities to engage in education and ask questions of leaders in the field. I am contacting you to respectfully request your participation in this event. NHCOA's webinar, Health Inequities and COVID-19 will be held in English. Please see the event information below:
