The year 2020 will be earmarked in history as the year when the world changed forever. And as we continue to face a global health crisis with COVID-19, the inequities that Indigenous and racialized communities in Canada must endure - especially related to health care - have become more apparent than ever.

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the inequities that Indigenous and racialized communities in Canada face - especially related to health care - have become more apparent than ever. Join UHN experts Dr. Lisa Richardson, Staff Physician, General Internal Medicine, UHN, Dr. Andrew Boozary, Executive Director, Population Health & Social Medicine and Sané Dube, Manager of Community and Policy, Population Health & Social Medicine as they discuss their work creating an Indigenous health strategy, as well as how UHN is developing and scaling new models of healthcare delivery to meet the challenges patients with complex health and social needs endure.

The event will also include a very special cooking masterclass hosted by TL Insider's Chef-In-Residence, Joseph Shawana, where he'll teach guests how to make Pine Ash Custard Elk with Plum and Peaches. Members can have all the ingredients for the masterclass delivered right to their door through The TL Insider's Chef Pantry.

The evening will provide an opportunity to discuss how as an individual and as a community we can take meaningful action to create a more equitable and inclusive society and what role we can each play in allyship in healthcare.

This Serving Knowledge event is presented by Jack Harding, Co-founder & Partner, Diner Agency, a member of the UHN Impact Collective. Together this group of next-generation leaders share a passion for community-building and advancing the future of health care by raising awareness and financial support for the highest priorities of Toronto General and Toronto Western hospitals.

Let us make an impact together on Giving Tuesday – take action, support healthcare and acquire knowledge.
