"One of the things we don't often talk about is that the District is rich in its health care assets but not in access to these assets." - @DrLNesbitt #RacismAndHealth
"It's not a one size fits all approach. We have to be able to have conversations with those on the ground and people providing theory and ingenuity from the top." #RacismAndHealth
"When we think about health care and health care dollars, we have to think of new ways of using resources. The socioeconomic problems that people face are always going to be present. " - George Jones #RacismAndHealth
"We all know that health care quality is a great issue in the United States. Americans get the appropriate care 55% of the time. What happens the other half of the time? What kind of care are we getting?" - May Cheng #RacismAndHealth
“Imagine the good we can do if we focus together. The #COVID19 pandemic taught us how we work together and how we can act fast.” #RacismAndHealth
"Health disparities are the civil rights issue of our time." - Dayna Bowen Matthew @lawdeanmatthew #RacismAndHealth
“This paper does a great job starting with history. Over 100 years the infant mortality rate of Black infants compared to White infants have not changed.” #RacismAndHealth
"Where is our activism around the research and development dollars that make sure there are new solutions produced for diseases that disproportionally affect people of color?" - Michelle McMurry-Health @drmichellebio #RacismAndHealth
“We have to get serious when we say equity and education, equity and housing. We have to be the voice of the people who don’t have one.” #RacismAndHealth
