What COVID-19 Has Taught Us About Racism as a Public Health Crisis

In the spring of 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic had much of the country shut down, Everyday Health launched Boxed In, a series of conversations between the country’s top mental health experts, led by Editor in Chief Maureen Connolly. Now, we’re proud to continue our conversations with Season 2 of Boxed In.

In this episode of Boxed In, psychiatrist and Everyday Health Medical Editor in Chief Patrice Harris, MD, discusses how disparities within the healthcare system lead to vastly different health outcomes for Black Americans.

Join Dr. Harris and Everyday Health’s editor in chief, Maureen Connolly, as they delve into the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the Black community, and what work needs to be done to address racism as a public health crisis.
