Death vs. Dollars Series: The Impact of Race and Gender Disparities on Our Health

April 9, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

What are the issues and how can they be corrected? Race is reflected in the pandemics’ disproportionate effect on communities of color. Women’s diseases are often missed and misdiagnosed. Women and people of color are often ignored by the medical profession. Clinical studies and research are typically limited to white male patients when we know that women’s bodies are different.

Please join us for a revealing discussion about Race and gender disparities in healthcare with our expert speakers:

  • Kimberly Ellis, Director, San Francisco Department on the Status of Women
  • Dr. Susan Rogers, Physicians for a National Program (PNHP)
  • Dr. Kavita Ramdas, Activist in Residence, Global Fund for Women

– What do you see as the major issues in race & gender healthcare today?

– What factors have led to improvements?

– Where does the US healthcare system need to focus for the most effective progress?

– What are the issues and how can they be corrected?
