2021 Geisel Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration
15th Annual Geisel MLK Health Equity Celebration Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhumane. - Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Statement of Purpose –
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the inequities that have long existed within health and society. Across the years, many have pointed to the current system and pushed for a more inclusive future. A future that is made more urgent by the current health crisis. As aspiring medical professionals, we the students of the Geisel School of Medicine, would like to ask, where do we go from here? What does healing look like for those most marginalized in healthcare? What can we do so that all of our communities can begin to heal? How can we remain vigilant as the effects of the pandemic continue?
