Episode 45: The Morehouse Mission: to improve health outcomes for people of color

Did you know that people of color have better health outcomes when they are treated by people who share their racial/ethnic background and better understand their lived experiences. As our nation diversifies, there will be a growing need to have more people of color in the medical field. Dr. Linwood McAllister of Morehouse School of Medicine, an historically black college, talks with Tim about the efforts to diversify the medical workforce. They also talk about the significance of the Juneteenth holiday and why it’s important that it be recognized as a holiday for all Americans.
