The fourth of four webinars on Sharing Insights About Covid-19 and Ethics Across States
Data from the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States reveal stark disparities in vulnerability to infection and illness by race, ethnicity, income, immigration status, and neighborhood. Vulnerabilities produced by social inequalities are health inequities, a form of injustice. This webinar features perspectives from Texas, Colorado, and New York on learning from Covid-19 to work toward justice in health, focusing on Black health, immigrant health, and the role of health systems.
