Journal Review: Reparations as a Public Health Priority - A Strategy for Black-White Health Disparities


Join us on Friday, May 13th from 12:00 - 1:00pm as we review the New England Journal of Medicine article entitled “Reparations as a Public Health Priority - A Strategy for Ending Black-White Health Disparities”. This article very clearly articulates opportunities for repairing the unfortunate circumstances our black patients have endured over centuries of time. Our conversation will further provide education on how reparations can affect patient care and outcomes.

This session will be moderated by Leslie Council, Manager of Marketing and Sales for the Department of Continuing Professional Development and Organizational Equity Consultant at Mountain Area Health Education Center. Our panelists include Dr. Amanda Calhoun, Yale Psychiatry Resident, Dr. Yvette Miller, Executive Director of the American Red Cross, and Dr. Augustus Parker III, a Board Certified OB/GYN physician who is the current Medical Director of Novant Healthcare’s Women’s Urgent Care Centers in Charlotte, North Carolina.
