About the event

TOXIC STRESS: THE ‘OTHER’ SILENT KILLER | THE EFFECTS OF STRESS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY


Join us for an afternoon of engaging activities, informative talks, and dance and exercise lessons!


Hosted by: Georgann Pierce from PACE.


Guest Speaker: Dr. Gina Guillaume is a dynamic Family Medicine doctor who came to Portland as the first Black Medical Director of North by Northeast Community Health Center, where she provided primary care to many African American patients. During her tenure, she launched a pilot mental health group therapy program, offered free blood pressure checks at local Black-owned barbershops, and initiated community walking groups. Currently, she expresses her passion for community health through her Per Diem roles at local primary care clinics in Oregon. She also shares vital medical knowledge through health talks and inspires the next generation of Black doctors by speaking to high school and college students about her journey to medicine.
