A Bustling Turnout
A Bustling Turnout
The Power Summit is focused on addressing the health and wellness of the Black community and solutions to create healthier generation.
This year's event showed a full house, as seats were full and attentive towards our empowering Guest Speakers and charismatic table personnel. With such a successful turnout, we're discussing finding an even bigger venue for next year!
We set up a booth for The PowerRX Pharmacy to highlight the challenges related to medication accessibility while offering an engaging experience. Attendees were presented with a captivating illusion of a fully stocked pharmacy, only to find empty shelves, illustrating that without diverse representation in clinical trials, medical products fail to meet the health needs of marginalized communities.
Visitors had the opportunity to create their own "prescriptions" for health and wellness on an RX pad, serving as a concrete reminder of their dedication to personal health.
By combining education, empowerment, and a playful approach, the PowerRX Pharmacy initiative effectively engages and motivates individuals, tackling a critical public health issue and establishing itself as an essential resource for organizations committed to improving diversity and representation in medical research.
