Boston, MA

Description

Black and Latinx populations are over-represented among cases and deaths from COVID-19, both nationally and in many of the regions hardest hit by the pandemic. This disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality has shone a glaring light on the inequities experienced by racial and ethnic minorities and the need for urgent solutions.
 

This presentation will be led by Ayana Jordan, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine. Please note that space is limited for this event and that registration via Zoom is required.
