Achieving Health Equity: Tools for a National Campaign Against Racism

Camara Phyllis Jones MD, MPH, PhD is a family physician and epidemiologist whose work focuses on the impact of racism on the health and wellbeing of the nation. She is President, American Public Health Association, member of the National Board of Public Health Examiners, 2000-2010 research director on social determinants of health and equity within the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Summary: The three dimensions of health intervention are providing health services, addressing the social determinants of health (including poverty), and addressing the social determinants of equity (including racism). Racism-including institutionalized, personally-mediated, and internalized racism-is a root cause of “racial”/ethnic differences in health outcomes. Dr. Camara Jones as she presents analogies and allegoriesto help illustrate the three levels of racism and the impacts of racism on the health and wellbeing of our nation. The discussion will equip attendees to ask “How is racism operating here?” and to organize, strategize, and act.

I heard Dr. Jones at a Healthy Equity Symposium this year in San Antonio, Texas...she is such an amazing teacher- defining 'terms' in a very simplistic yet accountable way. I LOVE it! Social Determinants of Equity! WOW 🥺 we have work to do as a Country!
