Join us along with the Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit, Adam Foss, JD, and others for a free event at Hill Auditorium on February 12, 2020 to build awareness and support for the HOPE Collaborative at Michigan Medicine.

The HOPE (health equity, opportunity, pipeline, and education) Collaborative’s goals are threefold: develop, strengthen, and study early pipeline and youth educational programs for medicine; broaden Michigan Medicine’s clinical reach and engagement of community partners for at-risk neighborhoods; diversify training programs and trainee recruitment.

Our guest performers and speakers will inspire and build excitement around the opportunities for underrepresented minorities in medicine.
