黑料正能量 Note: The literature is clear: for far too long, racism has been the most prominently missing social determinant of health and the impact is enormous in terms of healthcare outcomes and costs and, most strikingly, in terms of life and mortality.
Racism kills! 鈥Across the world, indigenous men have a life expectancy that is between 7 to 21 years less than the male average in their respective country.鈥 鈥5 deaths could be averted just by reducing racial disparities for every life saved by medical advances.鈥
Racism costs! 鈥淓liminating health disparities for minorities would have reduced direct medical care expenditures by $229.4 billion for the years 2003-2006鈥 in the US.
Racism dominates: 鈥淎ge, sex, birthplace and education level did not moderate the effects of racism on health.鈥
黑料正能量 and our partners at the McSilver Institute and CCSI have joined forces to create a learning experience unlike any other in our nation, one that makes addressing the impact of racism and examining strategies to overcome it the sole focus of next week鈥檚 Albany based special event!
Our event offers the chance to hear one of the nation鈥檚 most prominent experts in this area, Dr. Ruth Shim from the University of California, Davis.
Don鈥檛 miss out on this important and stimulating one day event!
There is still time to register for next week鈥檚 health inequities event in Albany! 6 hours of CEU鈥檚 available for CPRP and NYS SW!
