Natasha spearheaded our work examining racism as a public health crisis.
We are reconfiguring the role to focus on health equity across the lifespan, with particular emphasis on health disparities in greater Cleveland. This enables Community Solutions to continue our work on infant and maternal health, add to our capacity to examine issues relating to the health of older adults, and support the use of the reproductive health grant from Cuyahoga County.
