CCWA recently welcomed six incredible women from Latin America to Cleveland for a deep dive into Global Public Health Challenges. Their visit was packed with enriching discussions at @clevelandclinic , @cwru, @medwish , @metrohealthcle , @thecentersohio , @cledph, and even a surprise encounter with the Easter Bunny! Beyond the meetings, they enjoyed dinners with local families and explored iconic spots like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cleveland Museum of Art!
Huge thanks to everyone involved, especially our amazing home hospitality hosts who opened their doors on Easter Weekend. Your hospitality made their stay extra special!
