The Health Justice Academy is a free training curriculum composed of four weekly virtual modules that aims at providing tools to navigate the Massachusetts health care system and to advocate for health care rights and health equity in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. These training sessions will be implemented via Zoom and are geared towards advocates, health care and social service providers, community leaders, and community members who would like to have a better understanding of how to advance health justice and protect access to coverage and care for Massachusetts residents.
