NIHCM Newsletter on Black Americans: What’s Next in Health Equity?

The National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) Newsletter highlighted Black Americans and what's next for health equity:

"Black Americans have faced an increased risk of being hospitalized and dying from COVID-19 compared to White Americans. This disproportionate burden placed a spotlight on the ongoing impact of systemic racism and long-standing inequities on the health of Black Americans. Multiple forms of economic discrimination mean that Black Americans are more likely to be overrepresented in frontline worker jobs or face unemployment while being less likely to benefit from the Paycheck Protection Program. In terms of health and health care, Black Americans have higher rates of pre-existing conditions and are more likely to face discrimination when seeking health care. This infographic highlights many of these factors and opportunities for advancing health equity."
