The COVID pandemic may have exposed extraordinary race and income disparities in the health care Americans receive, but the issues run deeper than access. There are deep cultural rifts as well, including persistent myths and misperceptions held by practitioners that leave Black voices unheard and Black bodies unhealed. Health industry professionals and caregivers gather for a candid, no-holds-barred discussion of what ails the healthcare system and how to make quality healthcare accessible to all.
