The Medical Alley Association has partnered with the Association of Black Cardiologists and the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association for a three-part content series that shines a light on the reality of current health disparities and identify ways we can create more equitable healthcare solutions. The first two installments are podcast episodes, and the series will conclude with a live webinar Feb. 9.In this first of two podcast episodes, Gabriela Spence of the Medical Alley Association is joined by Dr. Keith C. Ferdinand, Gerald S. Berenson endowed chair in preventative cardiology and professor of medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine, and Dr. Yvonne Commodore-Mensah, assistant professor at John's Hopkins School of Nursing and Public Health and the Center for Health Equity. Our guests discuss the history of health inequities in this country, beginning with the civil rights movement and moving through important moments that have reinforced inequality and mistrust in healthcare institutions.
