Join us for the 2019 Indiana Health Advocacy Coalition State Conference: Health, Data, and Justice. This year's conference will have a focus on the use of data in legal interventions, especially in medical legal partnerships. Our keynote speaker is Breanca Merritt, PhD, the founding director of the Center for Research on Inclusion & Social Policy (CRISP).
