Join colleagues from across Catholic health care to watch and discuss the Vox film, Is Racism Making People Sick? How the stress of discrimination is widening the racial health gap.
This webinar will include the short film and then a panel discussion about the issues it highlights. The film was released a year into the pandemic as our nation was in the depths of experiencing COVID-19's unequal death toll that had taken the lives of Black Americans at twice the rate of white Americans. That disparity — and the broader racial mortality gap that has existed for as long as health data has been recorded — is the result of systemic racism in housing, education and other social determinants of health.
Please register for this event, or register to be sure and receive the recording, to collectively discuss the impact of the stress of discrimination on the health of those in the communities we serve and actions to address disparities in care.
