In a recent online discussion, Dr. Stephen Klasko spoke with Dr. Ala Stanford, founder of the Black Doctors Covid-19 Consortium, on the topic of wellness in the black community. During the conversation, Dr. Klasko stressed that health care colleagues and institutions should use this time to make real changes in the social determinants of health: food, housing, health care, employment, education, and so on. “If we could take that same feeling of we’re in this together and have those weekly calls to reduce health disparities, that wouldn’t solve the whole problem, but it’s a start,” he said.
