Healing the Divide: An Atlantic Forum on Health Equity

Description

What will it take to advance health equity in America? For many Americans, health is determined by where you live and by the color of your skin. Race and poverty drive persistent health inequities—from significantly higher rates of obesity and diabetes, maternal mortality and daily stress—and the impact on entire communities can be devastating.

The Atlantic will convene community leaders, policymakers, and experts from Baltimore and beyond for a critical conversation on how to improve health outcomes for all.

This event is supported by Johns Hopkins University. Participants include Johns Hopkins health equity researcher and Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Lisa Cooper as well as two Bloomberg American Health Initiative fellows, Kelli McIntyre and Haven Wheelock.
