More than a year into the pandemic, Detroit healthcare leaders recently gathered with Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence, representing Michigan’s 14th Congressional District, to discuss constricted access to social services.
“Black Americans were more likely to get infected, more likely to be hospitalized, and more likely to die from the coronavirus,” Congresswoman Lawrence stated. “Even with the vaccine, we are now facing another hurdle: we’re less likely to receive the shot in our arms. We have lower vaccination rates than any other group. It’s why we need a targeted approach to close these health gaps.”
Joining the virtual session were Denise Brooks-Williams, FACHE, senior vice president and CEO of North Market at Henry Ford Health System; Anthony V. King, FACHE, MHSA, CEO of The Wellness Plan Medical Centers; Audrey E. Smith, MPH, president, National Association of Health Services Executive
