The YWCA invites you to the first event of the year focusing on health care and race on February 16th from 12-1:30 p.m. at the Allen County Public Library, Main Branch Meeting Rooms A & B.

Community partners from health care will be invited. Those interested can visit the YWCA website for more information on our 2023 Diversity Dialogue Series.
