39: Fostering Equitable Change During COVID-19
Manage episode 268580845 series 2315427
COVID-19 is amplifying why systemic racism in America is a public health issue. Communities of color are being disproportionately burdened by this pandemic due to persistent inequities that increase their risk to more severe bouts of COVID-19 and death. America is currently engaged in dual crises to stop the spread of COVID-19 and to advance racial justice.
On this episode, speakers will address both issues and highlight the importance of public health agencies leading with and integrating equity in their COVID-19 response. We hear from three leaders managing their COVID-19 response by prioritizing areas with the greatest need and supporting community-led decision-making to ensure the most socially vulnerable populations have increased access to treatment, testing, isolation options, and resources.
Speakers:
- Joneigh Khaldun, MD, Chief Medical Executive and Chief Deputy Director for Department of the Michigan Department Health and Human Services
- Nicole Alexander-Scott, MD, MPH, Director of the Rhode Island Department of Health; ASTHO Board Member and Past-President
- Rudy Macklin, Director of the Bureau of Minority Health Access, Louisiana Department of Health; Board Member, National Association of State Offices of Minority Health (Louisiana)
