An Invitation to Restore & Reclaim Your Energy
The work of creating equitable and just health systems is not easy. That’s why The Intersection offers Rest & Renewal, an intentional online opportunity to pause, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible.

Convened by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The Intersection brings together people who work inside and outside of healthcare to build anti-racist health systems. It’s a place where community and justice advocates, healthcare providers, and public health experts can share their experiences, provide feedback on how to tackle challenges, and talk about what’s working.
