Get Healthy Shame, The Devil

“Racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care remain a persistent challenge in the United States.

The COVID-19 pandemic’s uneven impact for people of color drew increased attention to inequities in health and health care--but they have been documented for decades and reflect longstanding structural and systemic inequities rooted in racism and discrimination. While inequities in access to and use of health care contribute to disparities in health, inequities across broader social and economic factors that drive health, often referred to as social determinants of health, also play a major role.”
