Description: Join us for this webinar celebrating National Public Health Week 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted long-standing inequities in health care, income, housing, education and many other factors that influence health and well-being. Our panelists explore how these inequities are largely driven by racism and bias that are embedded in our systems, institutions, policies and practices. Panelists will also discuss health inequities in the midst of COVID-19 and the 2020 uprising and Black Lives Matter movement and the need for sustained attention and action by individuals, communities and government leaders to advance racial equity.
Panelists:
- Marlene Saunders, DSW, Retired Chairwomen, Department of Social Work, Delaware State University
- Cassandra Codes-Johnson, MPA, Associate Deputy Director, Division of Public Health, Delaware Health and Social Services
