Boston Medical Center is hosting a conversation with Camara Phyllis Jones, MD, MPH, PhD, moderated by Dr. Thea James, on Thursday, Nov. 5, from noon-1:30 p.m. Dr. Jones’s allegories on "race" and racism illuminate topics that are otherwise difficult for many Americans to understand or discuss. Recognizing that racism saps the strength of the whole society through the waste of human resources, she aims to mobilize and engage all Americans in a National Campaign Against Racism.
Dr. Jones is a family physician and epidemiologist whose work focuses on naming, measuring, and addressing the impacts of racism on the health and well-being of the nation.
