Racial Disparities in Healthcare: A Medical Emergency
Wednesday, October 2, 2024 | 6:00pm-8:00pm
Details:
Race has no place in healthcare; however, national data indicates that Black people, Hispanics and Native Americans continue to have higher rates of morbidity, mortality, disease and death than whites. Join us to hear Dr. M.Norman Oliver, former State Health Commissioner at the Virginia Department of Health and educator in UVA’s School of Medicine, explain how racism has operated and continues to operate in society in a manner which perpetuates inferior treatment in major healthcare institutions.
