Racism as a Public Health Crisis: What are We Going to Do About It?

Racism as a Public Health Crisis: What are We Going to Do About It?

In this episode of This is Public Health, we're exploring how racism impacts health outcomes and what actions are being taken to create more equitable communities. Dr. Janice Phillips, Assistant Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, and Illinois State Representative Camille Lilly join us to discuss the ways systemic racism affects health and the work being done to address it.

Dr. Phillips breaks down how racism can lead to poorer health outcomes and shares why it's critical to both name racism as a public health crisis and ensure that those most impacted have a seat at the table when decisions are made. Representative Lilly highlights recent legislation aimed at increasing investment in minority communities, along with ongoing efforts to close the life expectancy gap between neighborhoods just miles apart.

Tune in to learn how Illinois is turning words into action — and what it will take to build a healthier, more equitable future for all.
