I made an Infographic for solidarity AMONG Healthcare professionals.
Black people are less likely to be given appropriate and timely treatment in comparison to their white counter parts.
There are numerous studies discussing the blatant health disparities against black people in health care. Even when all the variables(location, age, insurance status, socioeconomic status, severity of disease) are accounted for, black people still die faster in our healthcare systems.
The radio silence I was hearing from my colleagues in these fields was even worse. We are leaders in our communities. Many of us have based our entire careers around helping others. We have to be a beacon of light and a safe space for our black brothers and sisters. So please, let them know we stand with them.
