Hello!
Today we will explore the
history of racism and bias in our healthcare systems.
The history of the exploitation and brutalization of people of color by doctors and others in the medical field is one of America’s most tragic and largely untold stories. Knowing our past is one of the first steps towards building a more equitable future.
We want to acknowledge how difficult this topic, as well as many of the topics we have already covered, can be to learn about, revisit, and/or experience.
Please be mindful of your mental health, practice self care, reach out to others should you need help, and be open to the experiences of others as you grapple with these issues.
