Date: 2021-04-20

A year into the pandemic, issues of health inequities, disparities, and injustice have come to the forefront of the public consciousness. Columbia alumnae and faculty who are passionate about these issues have been leading the drive to expose these failures and to improve health care for everyone in our communities.

Tune in to Dr. Brenda Aiken’s (Director of Medical Services for Columbia Health) virtual conversation with Dr. Julia Iyasere (Executive Director of the Dalio Center for Health Justice at New York- Presbyterian) and Dr. Courtney Cogburn (Associate Professor, Columbia School of School Work). Dr. Iyasere gives us the inside view on how the Dalio Center was established just last year to address health disparities, and what the current projects are. And Dr. Cogburn explores the findings of her transdisciplinary research on racial inequities in healthcare.
