Healthcare Equality

On this episode of Uncle Sam's Daughter-The Podcast, we speak with Army Veteran Rochelle Alexander.

According to Harvard School of Public Health, "Black women face risks to their health from discrimination—both from health professionals who don’t take their concerns seriously and from biological wear and tear caused by chronic stress." Rochelle shares her unique experience as a young mother and her decision to join the military. She shares her battle with trying to convince medical professionals, leaders, and her fellow comrades that her medical complaints were legit and that she wasn't just trying to get out of the hard or less favorable tasks. Join us as she shares her perspective as a black woman fighting for her equity in healthcare.
