Last week Ken Lalime, CEO at CHCACT, attended the Connecticut 2020 Summit: Disparities in Maternal Child Health. The Summit featured the great work that private, public, and community agencies have done on behalf of vulnerable women and children in our state. The focus is to mobilize and leverage state-wide resources to systematically identify and address racial and ethnic disparities.
In attendance was Guest of Honor Vice-Admiral Surgeon General Jerome Adams, MD.

Ken was also interviewed on WTIC Radio, to discuss the COVID-19 concerns. Listen to the interview here.
