How Health Lit Café Started
How Health Lit Café Started
One day, Agnes wanted to read The Code Breaker and started wondering who else would want to read it. Then she wondered if people would want to coffee hop around Seattle with her and support local businesses while they were at it. And then she thought, why not turn this into an actual community?
So she picked out a coffee shop she'd been wanting to try, scheduled a book club meeting, and decided to keep the focus on biotech, healthtech, AI, global health, that kind of thing.
She thought maybe a couple of people would show up, but instead, 16 beautiful and curious souls did, and from there it grew and it grew!
Health Lit Café was founded by Agnes Gjekmarkaj, who's always been passionate about accessible healthcare and bringing people together. The whole thing is built on a simple idea: health is wealth, and the best conversations usually happen over a good cup of coffee.
Pick up a book, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s have fun discussing different topics in healthcare!
