To our wonderful family of supporters, leaders, collaborators and community members: Doctors for Change wishes you a happy new year! As we turn the page on a challenging and momentous year for our great city of Houston, we at DFC are picking up right where we left off by continuing our work in addressing the unacceptable realities we see in our city and state.
Last year, our educational forums provided an environment in which healthcare professionals, students, community leaders and legislators alike came together to learn about programs and initiatives in the community, exchange ideas and collaborate with one another. Our goal this year is to build on that success by expanding on our forums by improving our presentation, background information, and follow-up communication using feedback from our attendees.
Further details for all events, along with finalized speaker lineups and registration options, will be announced as they are finalized. In the meantime, here is an early look at our 2018 DFC Event Schedule:
