Black History and Healthcare: Past, Present & Future

FREE LIVE WEBINAR! Did you know that until the 1960’s Black doctors and patients were not allowed in most US hospitals? This restriction, along with many other factors, severely contributed to the poor health status of the Black Community. This is why having authentic discussions around the Black Community’s justified mistrust of the medical and scientific arenas are vital. In this live webinar, we will take a look at how the current disparities have not only challenged our ability to provide quality care for this population but also how they obstruct the willingness of this community to participate in conversations concerning their own care. Listen in as we share some of the recent initiatives as they relate to supporting the Black Community when facing life-limiting illnesses.
