WONDER AT HOME WEBINAR SERIES
RELIGION, RACE & HEALTH: SOLUTIONS TO DISPARITY IN CARE
Systemic inequalities have created a far more dire impact for COVID-19 among minority populations, but long before the pandemic, communities of color have struggled with healthcare crises based on a lack of access to adequate facilities and practitioners. Religious organizations have functioned as bridges between mainstream healthcare and under-served communities, but the underlying issues remain. Join us for this panel discussion where you will hear from esteemed panelists from the University of Arizona’s College of Humanities and Health Sciences as they discuss how these intersecting issues of diversity are essential to justice in healthcare.
