Confronting Racism In Pediatric Care

November's Narrative Matters article tells the story of a primary care
pediatrician's efforts to address racism in pediatric care
<[link removed]>.


Author Benjamin Danielson, a practicing pediatrician, writes that, "in
health care and other settings, poverty is racialized, [and] biases are
deeply embedded in policies and practices."

He recounts a situation when these biases and medical practices led to a
hospital nearly calling Child Protective Services about the parent of a
young Black patient-a choice that could have seriously harmed the
health and well-being of an entire family.

Danielson writes that stories like his patients' are not unique.
"Racism affects every aspect of the health care system, in policies and
daily practices, and it harms people," he writes.

Danielson suggests that primary care pediatrics is uniquely positioned
to address racism and ultimately transform child health care to go
beyond a medical care focus in prioritizing health and well-being.

Read Danielson's entire Narrative Matters article and check out the
policy checklist associated with this topic today.
