Event Canceled: People’s Community Clinic will not be hosting this year’s Adolescent Health Symposium on March 25, due to the coronavirus outbreak. We hope to reschedule the event for later in the year and will keep you updated.
Save the date! Please join us for the Adolescent Health Symposium “Transforming Risk Into Wellness” on Wednesday, March 25, 2020, at People’s Community Clinic.
People’s Community Clinic will host its fourth annual interactive Adolescent Health Symposium on March 25th. We will tackle some hot topics which young people have chosen as important to them and to the community. Leading up to the symposium, International Adolescent Health Week will be celebrated around the globe with the theme, “Transforming Risk Into Wellness.”
With this topic in mind, People’s will have local experts speak on vaping, social media use, and immigrant health. The event opens with a networking session and refreshments. Tables will be set up to provide information on reproductive health, nutrition, and LGBTQIA issues. This is a great opportunity for attendees to, make new friends in the field, and learn about some of the health issues adolescents face. Health professionals, youth-serving agency staff, school personnel, families and young people are welcome.
