Moving Forward Together
We are excited to host our 4th Annual Partner Summit, bringing together our community of visionaries and leaders reimagining emergency and prehospital care with a racial equity lens in California.
The day will include opportunities to hear from one another on policy priorities, the state of emergency and prehospital care in California, networking across sectors, and a chance to celebrate the many accomplishments of CARESTAR grant recipients.
We hope you will join us for this empowering and inspirational gathering.
