Despite decades of advances in medicine, people in underserved communities, especially Black communities, must deal with unequal access to healthcare that results in higher rates of death and disease. In the Unequal Access: Confronting Racial Disparities in Health Town Hall, we will look at the social determinants of health and the problem of structural racism to expose the truth about health disparities and discuss solutions.
