Is Racism a Public Health Crisis? Episode 14: Bridging the Gap: Conversations with Dr. Hall

In this session Dr. Gregory Hall walks us through the data on why US communities have declared racism a public health threat. He will explore the history behind these declarations and review how you as a clinician can have an impact on this health crisis.
