COGI Community Conversations is coming to your campus to change up the game! If we know better, we do better – right? This experience meets you in the prime of your life to give you the tools to make decisions on a topic that we can never avoid – our health.
One of the major health topics that is often off of the radar, in black and brown communities, is digestion.

Both of these diseases are chronic illnesses that are under-diagnosed in black patients.
