This program is brought to you by our partnership with Geisel's HHS, UHS, RHS, GHS, SNMA and WC4BL groups.

Geisel School of Medicine's first annual Reimagining Medicine Festival aims to bring art and healthcare together to re-examine healthcare aims around addressing racial equity, discuss creative solutions, and share raw and honest artwork to engage in deeper community discussions.
