What Is the ABGH Summit?

The ABGH Summit is a national medical conference dedicated to eliminating health disparities in gastrointestinal and liver diseases disproportionately affecting Black communities. The summit blends clinical education, community advocacy, and health equity strategy, creating a space where professionals and community leaders work together to improve outcomes.
