In
a nation that promotes equality, all Americans
are not treated equally when it comes to
health care. The color of a person’s
skin, income and the ability to acquire
adequate insurance all play a role in determining
the quality of medical services a person
receives. And the consequences of these
disparities can be dramatic. For example,
the life expectancy of African-American
men is eight years shorter than white men.
Researching these issues and seeking ways
to resolve them is the focus of the recently
formed Center on Health Disparities, led
by director Dr. Norman Oliver and program
manager Juleen C. Stephen, M.A. Full
story.
