Journalism Professor, City College of New York
Professor, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism

"America is the wealthiest country in the world -- and spends more on medical care than any other nation. Yet, we have the poorest health outcomes. Racial disparities in health, from birth to the end of life, have remained stubbornly in place for decades or longer, even among educated, wealthy Black Americans. My talk will discuss these issues, and lean into solutions informed by my perspective as a journalist."

Presentation followed by a moderated discussion and Audience Q&A with Yvonne Ortiz, MEd. Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.
