Event Description

Though America is the wealthiest country in the world -- and spends more on medical care than any other nation. Yet, we have the poorest health outcomes. Racial disparities in health, from birth to the end of life, have remained stubbornly in place for decades or longer, even among educated, wealthy Black Americans. This talk will discuss these issues, and lean into solutions

Event Speaker

Linda Villarosa, Journalism Professor at City College of New York
