At the March NAACP Health Leads Forum, participants unpacked the next phases of Medicaid and menthol ban campaigns, learned about a new breast cancer intervention developed to inform and protect Black women, and officially opened the 2024 Dr. William Montague Cobb Award portal for nominations.
A recording of the forum is available; it requires registration to view.
The Dr. William Monague Cobb Award was established to honor individuals who have made a significant impact in the field of health in recognition of the extraordinary social justice advocacy and legacy of Dr. William Montague Cobb, who served as President of the NAACP from 1976 to 1983. You can nominate a health advocacy trailblazer in the community by using this portal link.
