Urban Health Initiative Summit

Hi, my name is Kishonna Hall and this past Thursday I attended the Urban Health Initiative summit at the Apostolic Church Of God, on 6320 S. Dorchester. The purpose of the summit was to try to find ways to improve the health of the communities on the South Side of Chicago. There were many people there trying to help increase health access in the community. At the summit there was a breakout session where they split up all the people and put us in different groups and in random rooms. The session was very interesting because everyone brought up some very interesting points about how we should start working in the community by interacting with the citizens and just basically trying to get involved and used to the community. I had never experienced anything like the summit in my life and i actually enjoyed it. The people were very friendly and the food was delicious! I am very grateful for experiencing something so important that is trying to change my community.
