Health Affairs will host a salon-style discussion of how structural racism and historical events socially, economically, and politically disenfranchised Black residents in the District of Columbia, yielding stark differences in health outcomes by race and place.

Moderated by Amanda Michelle Gomez of DC public radio station WAMU, the panel will include Georgetown University Professor Christopher King—the author of the study in the event title, and Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.

Stay tuned for details of additional events that will coincide with the release of Health Affairs’ upcoming issue, Racism & Health. These include a Journal Club with Michael Sun and coauthors from the University of Chicago, on their paper "Negative Patient Descriptors: Documenting Racial Bias In The Electronic Health Record."
