There is a group of people in the distance. In the background is a sunset with orange, yellow, and blue colors that is set over dark blue water, with a green hillside lining the waterway.

It features photos, names, and affiliations for the event's three guest speakers: Torie Bosch, First Opinion editor at STAT; Madeline Miller, best-selling author; Funmi Okunola, MD, co-founder of Long COVID the Answers. There is a stack of newspapers in the background of the flyer, on top of a teal background.
