Your brain health is one of your most valuable assets, and keeping it sharp doesn't have to be complicated!

At CHI, we believe health equity means everyone should have the tools to protect their cognitive well-being, regardless of their background. Staying proactive about your brain health is a powerful way to empower yourself and your community.

Here are some simple, practical habits you can start today:

- Stay Curious: Try a new recipe, learn a word in a new language, or read a book. Keeping your mind active builds resilience.
- Fuel Your Mind: Focus on accessible, brain-healthy foods like leafy greens, beans, and berries.
- Keep Moving: A simple daily walk increases blood flow to the brain and boosts your mood.
- Connect: Socializing with friends, family, or neighbors is one of the best ways to keep your brain engaged and reduce stress.

Healthy habits are for everyone. Let’s work together to build a more equitable and healthy future.

Join us for the 14th Annual Health Equity Symposium on June 30 – July 1 in Chicago. This year’s theme, "InSync: From Access to Advancement," focuses on building communities of resources where everyone has the support to thrive.

🗓️ Day 1: We’re diving into healthcare systems and clinical trials, tackling barriers like trust with real-world solutions.

💼 Day 2: It’s all about the future: join our career fair, find a mentor, and explore pathways into healthcare and STEM.

Let’s learn, partner, and take action for a fairer future.
