This one-hour, 32-minute webinar highlights the disproportionate impact the COVID-19 outbreak is having on communities of color, and the short- and long-term efforts needed to address this impact. Presenters discuss how people of color disproportionately have higher rates of many chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, and asthma, which are associated with the social determinants of health, and how this pandemic is revealing the consequences of these longstanding inequities.
