SUMMARY:Soup-er Supper Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Redeeming Healthcare for Young People \nFor nearly 50 years\, the Corner Health Center has been a leading voice in providing compassionate\, whole-person healthcare for adolescents across the state. At a time when young people often fall through the cracks of an inequitable U.S. healthcare system\, the Corner continues to stand in the gap—offering not just medical care\, but dignity\, advocacy\, and hope. \nOn Sunday\, May 3 at 5:00pm\, as part of the Soup-er Speaker Series hosted monthly by the Social Justice Action Team\, Rev. Alex Plum\, the organization’s CEO\, will share the rich history of the Corner Health Center and highlight its current strategic priorities. Drawing on his background in public health and nonprofit administration\, Rev. Alex brings a unique and informed perspective to the work of transforming healthcare access for young people. \nAn ordained deacon serving in extension ministry at the Corner\, Rev. Alex embodies a calling that bridges faith and service. He lives in Detroit with his husband\, Jason\, and remains deeply committed to building a more just and compassionate healthcare system for all adolescents. \nThe presentation concludes with a soup and salad dinner and time for conversation. ALL are welcome!
