On Wednesday, 13 December, RJVS captured an informative community outreach event called "A Legacy of Zero: Building a Culture of Health". The educative summit, which took place at the Hotel at Arundel Preserve, was sponsored by the Maryland Department of Health's Minority Outreach and Technical Assistance Program (MOTA).
It featured two informative keynote speakers, a spoken word performance, and a Q&A session led by a panel of experts. Marsella Haskin-Hare and her team from, Maryland Hands of Hope organized the event, which was moderated by Bishop Dr. Abraham Shanklin, Jr., lead pastor of New Life Fellowship International Ministries.
One of the most important aspects of the summit was the chance it provided for medical, social services, community activists and other interested personnel to network and begin the process of brainstorming solutions to the Opioid epidemic and the twin scourges of HIV and Hepatitis.
They say you are judged by the company you keep. RJVS was honored to be a part of this important function led by such an assortment of dedicated individuals.
