COVID-19 has heavily impacted communities of color, making health inequities even worse. 

This BrainStorm webcast is the second in a series on health equity challenges created by COVID-19 in the dementia community and beyond. Our host, Meryl Comer, talks with an expert panel of research organizations about what they are doing to prioritize health equity in their COVID-19 research programs and why diversity matters in brain health research. We also share our latest A-LIST survey results on the pandemic's effects on the Alzheimer's community. 

Our guests include Gerren Wilson of Genentech; Phyllis Ferrell of Eli Lilly; Dr. Jaime Perales of Kansas University’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center; Kevin Kimble of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; and Jason Resendez of our LatinosAgainstAlzheimer’s Coalition. We also talk one-on-one with caregiver-advocate Daisy Duarte and former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher.
