Inequities in Women's Health (Nassau)
2023-04-18 19:00 - 20:00
Inequities in Women’s Health
April 18, 2023 at 7:00pm
Women face the challenge of existing within a system that was designed by and for men. Thus, there are historic health inequities for women in the current healthcare system. Although the overall health of American women has improved over the past few decades, not all women have benefitted equally. Many minority women continue to lag behind white women in a number of areas, including quality of care, access to care, timeliness, and outcomes. Although there have been improvements in minority women’s health, we still have a lot of progress to make. This program will discuss what a healthy lifestyle looks like for the career woman and provide tips for proactive approaches to health, in addition to ways in which we can advocate for health equity.

Lawyers Behaving Badly: Sanctions, Suspensions and General Shenanigans
Every day, there seems to be another news report about a lawyer being taken to task for some kind of bad behavior. Lying to the court, discovery violations, frivolous claims, and even personal misbehavior can lead to court sanctions, disciplinary action, and – in extreme cases – criminal charges; not to mention reputational harm, loss of clients, termination of employment, and other professional consequences. In this program, a panel of experts discusses why so many lawyers are getting into trouble and what we can learn from their mistakes, using examples ripped from the headlines.
