Health Visions of Fort Wayne

April 2, 2009

Ms. Rennetta Williams and the Health Visions Fort Wayne team recently held the second annual meeting of the Allen County Health Disparity Coalition. This year's keynote speaker was renowned Chicago-based heart surgeon, author and publishing company executive Hilton Hudson II.

Dr. Hudson informed the capacity crowd that despite medical advances, Blacks and Hispanics still disproportionately fall victim to diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and HIV/AIDS, and they die younger.

An article highlighting the event appeared in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.
