Trinity Health is presenting its fifth annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Health Equity Symposium on Jan. 19. The virtual event will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET.

- Mike Slubowski, president and CEO of Trinity Health
- LaRonda Haller, senior vice president of health equity and human impact for Trinity Health
- Sr. Veronique Wiedower, CSC, chair of Catholic Health Ministries, the sponsor of Trinity Health
