Segregation in health care: America's racist - and deadly - legacy


Listen Later

This time on Code WACK!

What did segregation look like in hospitals and medical facilities in America, and did it only extend to the South? What finally brought an end to the deadly practice that cost countless Black and Brown lives?

To break it down, we spoke to Dr. Barbara Berney, project creator and producer of the documentary "Power to Heal: Medicare and the Civil Rights Revolution." She's also an emeritus professor at City University of New York School of Public Health and a distinguished scholar in public health, environmental justice, and the U.S. healthcare system. This is the first of two episodes with Dr. Berney.
