You’ve probably heard of Dr. Susan Moore, who died of COVID recently, but not before giving powerful testimony to the terrible discrepancies in health care received by people of color.

Even if they’re a doctor.

On January 26th at 7:00pm, Physicians for a National Health Program is presenting a forum discussing the treatment and subsequent death of Dr. Moore, which cannot go unaddressed. We must confront institutional racism in health care by fighting not only for equitable and universal coverage, but for substantive institutional accountability and the eradication of racism in all forms.

  • Mary Charlson, MD, William T. Foley Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Director of Center for Integrative Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College

MODERATORS:
