Remaking the Economy: Health, Racial Disparities, and Economic Justice ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Building on a set of articles in the winter 2020 issue of Nonprofit Quarterly, this webinar in our Remaking the Economy series looks at healthcare, the largest sector of the US economy. Famously, the US pays far more than any other nation on healthcare—17.7 percent of the economy in 2019—yet has inferior health outcomes. The Peterson Center on Healthcare and Kaiser Family Foundation report that “Back in 1980, life expectancy at birth in the US was similar to that of comparable countries. However, since then, the US has gained just 4.9 years of life expectancy, while comparable countries have gained 7.8 years on average.” The average American now lives 2.5 years less long than the average German and 5.6 years less long than the average Japanese person.

Economic inequality and racism are two drivers of poor US health outcomes. This year, the American Medical Association formally recognized racism as a public health threat. The impact of racism in health care can be seen in age-adjusted COVID-19 mortality rates for Black, Latinx, and Native Americans, which are twice that of whites. How can healthcare be retooled to address these disparities and promote better health? In this webinar, we feature three panelists who address these issues.

Recognizing Racism as a Public Health Threat: A Conversation with Dr. Willarda V. Edwards ([link removed])

The Nonprofit Quarterly recently sat down with Dr. Willarda V. Edwards, who has been helping to spearhead an effort inside the House of Delegates at the American Medical Association (AMA) to reorient the organization around antiracist principles. This has resulted in a policy platform, made public in mid-November 2020, that took on a wide variety of issues seen as needing systemic redress.

This article comes from the winter 2020 edition of the Nonprofit Quarterly.
