Black Care Matters

Violet shares with us her unique path as a nurse dedicated to community health. From the hospital to the homes of mothers caring for new babies, to the cafeteria of elementary schools in East County Portland–Violet is a fierce and joyful advocate for positive health outcomes in the Black community. Her energy hits like a pumpkin pie on a holiday! You don’t want to miss this conversation on Black Care Matters.

Ron walks us through why he was inspired to make his way into healthcare as a young Black man. How he’s been forced to confront this system built off racism throughout his career, and the especially potent flavor of that system here in Oregon. It's a conversation full of laughter and conviction that you don't want to miss. This is where "Black Care Matters."

Welcome to "Black Care Matters." The show where we honor the unique experiences of Black nurses working in the Pacific Northwest.
