Virtual Discussion
Health Equity in the Age of Covid: Lessons from the Pandemic
Recorded on August 6, 2020
Racism is the root cause of health disparities and the reason that minorities and the poor are disproportionately suffering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this interactive webinar dedicated to the memory of George Floyd we explore how COVID-19 is affecting the care of minority women and their infants and discuss steps that perinatal and newborn care teams can take to achieve health equity for the mothers, infants, and families we serve by using VON Potentially Better Practices for Follow Through.
