Explore the complex relationship between race, place, and health in this 51-minute panel discussion from The Aspen Institute. Delve into the persistent racial segregation and unequal access to opportunities in the United States, examining how these factors contribute to significant health inequities and disparities in income, education, and employment. Learn about the extent of racial segregation in major metropolitan areas and how concentrated poverty affects health outcomes across various communities, including rural and urban Black neighborhoods, Chinatowns, Native American lands, and Hispanic barrios. Gain insights from experts Richard Besser, Maria Hinojosa, Kevin Washington, and Kathy Ko Chin as they discuss the roots of these inequalities, challenge common misconceptions, and propose strategies to eliminate health inequities and promote racial equity in the United States.
