Thank you to our speakers and everyone who attended!
On Thursday, August 29th, we kicked off our second installment of CFTH Presents with a discussion focusing on healthcare and homelessness. During this event we heard insights from field professionals on whether stable and affordable housing can be as crucial to health outcomes as traditional medical care.
