Virtual Event: UChicago Urban Network Live Virtual Panel: Racism as a Public Health Crisis for America’s Cities

COVID-19 has increased the disparities facing Black Americans in every aspect of health care — from preventive medicine and maternal health to insurance coverage and hospital access. In the fight for equity, health care continues to be at the forefront of the national dialogue and a focus for medical professionals, lawmakers and academics alike.

Join the UChicago Urban Network, Rep. Lauren Underwood, University of Chicago’s Dr. Melissa Gilliam and Urban Health Initiative’s Brenda Battle for a discussion on the impacts of this crisis and where we go from here to create better health outcomes for all Americans.

This virtual event is free and open to all, but requires advance registration.
