Today, we hosted an enlightening discussion, "Creating Equitable Healthcare in the Black Community" featuring Dr. Larry Wallace Jr. of Black Men's Health Clinic and Seneca Harrison of Quality Clinical Research moderated by LaChanel Hemphill of Digitas Health. They shared their expertise and perspective on how we can work together to bridge the healthcare gap and they acknowledged the inequalities the Black Community faces while discussing ways to address the barriers. This panel was a powerful reminder that while the challenges are significant, so is our collective capacity for innovation and change. #HealthEquity #BlackMensHealthClinic

Healthcare Quality Executive, Nurse, Epidemiologist, Translational Scientist and Health Equity Champion #NoPatientLeftBehind Views expressed are mine alone.
“#Prop35 will secure ongoing revenue by extending an existing levy on health insurance companies—without raising taxes on individuals—and dedicating these funds to protect and expand access to care for all #Californians. It guarantees billions in #healthcare dollars are spent as they were intended, capping administrative costs at 1% and ensuring the remaining 99% is spent directly on expanding access to healthcare. Importantly, Prop. 35 prevents the state from redirecting these funds for non-healthcare purposes. “ Please #vote YES on CA Prop 35! You can read more about Prop 35 here: https://lnkd.in/g-pzt84r
The NAACP California Hawaii State Conference joined the Minority Health Institute, the California Black Chamber of Commerce and the Sacramento and Los Angeles Chapters of the National Action Network in supporting #Prop35. Yes on Prop 35 https://lnkd.in/gqgBVgfx

According to the Listening to Black Californians study, more than 1 in 4 Black Californians avoid healthcare due to concerns they will be treated unfairly or with disrespect. Here are some ways you can take control of your healthcare experience: • Prepare for your visit by doing your research first. • Speak up if you feel like your concerns are being dismissed. • Choose your own providers, and switch if you don’t feel comfortable. • File a complaint and hold your healthcare providers accountable for their actions. Join our movement. Become a member. Together, let’s do our part in making the healthcare system work better for us and our community.

Dr. Uché Blackstock, MD's new memoir, LEGACY: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine, sheds light on the challenges faced by Black healthcare professionals and patients alike, while also highlighting the urgent need for systemic change. Dr. Blackstock is an advocate, physician, and founder of Advancing Health Equity, a nonprofit dedicated to forging partnerships aimed at dismantling racism in healthcare and eliminating racialized health inequities. She navigates the complexities of racism in medicine with clarity and compassion. As we continue to reckon with the pervasive effects of racism, especially in healthcare, Dr. Blackstock's work is more timely and essential than ever. Her book serves as a roadmap for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and advocates alike, offering personal stories and tangible steps towards a more equitable future. Drawing from her experiences, LEGACY details gaps in healthcare resulting from bias. One such example included in her book involves a time her appendicitis symptoms were dismissed, and she was turned away from the ER three times, despite being a medical student. LEGACY is not just a memoir; it's a call to action. Dr. Blackstock's courageous storytelling invites readers to join her in challenging the status quo and advocating for health equity. To hear more about LEGACY, listen to Dr. Blackstone on NPR's Fresh Perspective: https://lnkd.in/e9TCgvPJ Join KC Health Collaborative in celebrating this important addition to the conversation on racial justice in medicine. Let's amplify Dr. Blackstock's voice and commit to creating a future where healthcare is truly accessible to all. Let’s get to work. #HealthEquity #RacialJustice #kansascity
