Structural Racism’s Lasting Impact on Black Women in Healthcare

In this episode we discuss a research study that examines the lasting impact of structural racism on Black women healthcare workers in the U.S., including low wages and hazardous working conditions.

 

And we highlight The Center for Advancing Racial Equity and Job Quality in Long-Term Care, a national hub centering BIPOC women and immigrant caregivers to build an equitable caregiving infrastructure in the U.S.
