Attended the Juneteenth Wellness Summit
The Perelman School of Medicine and the Wharton School, Juneteenth Wellness Summit
The Wharton School and the Perelman School of Medicine partnered to host an event aimed at providing a broad scope of wellness resources for the Philadelphia community. The summit featured doctors from different specialties, such as diabetes, stroke neurology, and more. Additionally, attendees benefitted from access to blood pressure screenings, financial health and investment resources by Vanguard Investment Management Company and J.P. Morgan Chase, food donations, and other community partners.
With a shared belief that diversity is at the core of institutional progress, and transformation, the Office of DEI and Wharton CEO initiated collaborative efforts through event programming, providing access to resources for the Penn and Philadelphia community and beyond. Their first event, the Wellness Summit, was held in partnership with Penn Medicine, to commemorate Juneteenth. With a focus on financial wellness and health equity, the summit took place at Saunders Park Greene on June 28, 2023, uniting the West Philadelphia community for a day of food, entertainment, and empowerment.
