Description:
This webinar will explore
the historical and ongoing practice of medical redlining, a form of systemic discrimination that
restricts access to quality healthcare for marginalized communities. We will
examine how discriminatory policies, lack of resources, and geographic
segregation have contributed to health disparities, and discuss the hurdles
these communities face in accessing equitable care.
