Vol. 172 | Featured: Health Disparities in Preventive Screenings for African Americans 🩺✊🏾

Published 20 days agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

​

In an era where advancements in preventive medicine have revolutionized healthcare, the disparities in access to preventive screenings for Black folks remain a pressing concern. Preventative screenings are often out of reach due to systemic barriers such as limited transportation, inadequate health insurance, and disparities in health literacy.

This week's featured article acknowledges these disparities, highlighting the importance of addressing systemic issues that hinder access to timely and life-saving healthcare interventions.

Make it a great week!
