African Americans have not achieved MLK's dream of equality.

All patients are not treated equally even though the doctors take an oath to treat all patients the same. The answer to why is very complicated...

1

The reason some patients are not treated equal is because of our implicit bias. Our subconscious prejudices which means we have a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. We have a permanent racist system that keeps going and going.

Negatives to being a minority

Minorities have unequal access to quality education, healthy food, livable wages, and affordable housing.

Ways to eliminate?

1. ¨Provide insurance coverage and access to high quality care for all Americans.¨
2. ¨Promote a diverse health care workforce¨
3. ¨Deliver patient centered care¨
4. ¨Maintain accurate, complete race and ethnicity data to monitor disparities in care¨
5. ¨Set measurable goals for improving quality of care, and ensure that goals are achieved equitably for all racial and ethnic groups¨

Let's make a change!

This pattern of racial disparity in health is so severe that this contributes to a higher death rates and shorter life spans. We all need to change this and work on methods to eliminate this issue.
