Making It Plain: A COVID-19 Town Hall for Minority Health Professionals
March 23, 2021 | Watch the Recording
In the latest episode of Making It Plain, top officials and leading health professionals, including Eliseo Pérez-Stable, M.D., of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), provide up-to-date information relevant to minority health professionals about COVID-19.
Says Cameron Webb, M.D., “Some of the greatest success they have in addressing equity challenges are through partnerships . . . trusted messengers, trusted messages, safe spaces, trusted places to get vaccinated—that’s a recipe for community based organizations and faith-based organizations to have a key role . . . and our task here is to figure out how all the pieces come together.”
