Sickle Cell Podcast Series- Racism in Upper Management-What to Do?

In this episode we discussed how racism in upper management is impacting the care of patients who are living with sickle cell.  This podcast was in response to Dr. Danielson resigning in protest from the Odessa Brown clinic.  

Key points for this podcast where:

• The level of security being called for people of color is 1.5x more likely to have security called on you
• The Odessa Brown clinic was at the bottom of the priority list for funding
• Reaching the executives who control the money to ensure a more diverse representation at the executive level
• Acting on the data that exposes racist behaviors
