Boston is home to some of the country\u2019s leading community health centers and partners devoted to tackling health inequities. Yet even here race, ethnicity, and racism continue to adversely impact health, and COVID-19 has further revealed racial inequities. Where has Boston been successful? And what are the next steps to improve health outcomes, close persistent gaps, save lives, and transform the fields leading this work?<\/p>\n

Join the Boston University Initiative on Cities, Boston University Diversity & Inclusion, and WBUR CitySpace for Black Boston: Building Healthy Communities<\/strong><\/em>, the first in a recurring discussion series featuring transformative Black leaders from across Greater Boston.<\/p>\n
