Systemic Racism as a Public Health Crisis and Its Impact on Health and Mental Health
Health funders have long raised concerns about health disparities in communities of color, and the current pandemic has only exacerbated these inequalities. Data continues to show that Black, Indigenous, and people of color have higher rates of infant mortality, heart disease, and even an advanced aging process due to stress and trauma. We are now at a pivotal moment, and cities and counties across the country are declaring racism as a public health crisis, including San Bernardino County. By declaring racism as a public health emergency, officials recognize systemic racism as a problem that needs to address. Join our next Health Funders Group to dive deeper into the root causes of systemic racism and its impact on the health and mental health of communities of color.
