This event hosted by the Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Center within the Office for Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, featured two local leaders for this thought-provoking webinar, including Sacramento City District 4 Councilmember Katie Valenzuela and Associate Vice Chancellor for Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at UC Davis Health, Hendry Ton, M.D., M.S.
The discussion focused on the shared values of respect, the collective good, and civil unity—essential elements in fostering a more connected community and explored the impact of emotions, particularly the health outcomes of holding fearful versus joyful feelings during election season, discussing what it means to vote as a civic responsibility.
