As our nation grapples with systemic racism, the health pandemic rages on. Black Americans are dying from COVID-19 at almost three times the rate of white people, revealing glaring racial inequality in our healthcare system. We speak with Moab Regional Hospital CEO Jen Sadoff about local awareness of this broken system as well as how to keep COVID-19 safe while demonstrating for racial justice. Plus, we hear from Moab City Mayor Emily Niehaus about her pledge with the Chief of Police to review use-of-force policies with the community.
