Indianapolis, Indiana – More than 250 state and local governments and other community organizations have declared racism as a public health crisis.
The list includes six governments in Indiana: the Indianapolis City-County Council, the city councils of Evansville, Lafayette, and West Lafayette, the Tippecanoe County Board of Commissioners, and the St. Joseph County Board of Health.
The mission is to address racial disparities and inequities in health care.
The event is the third in a series of public forums with the hospitals organized by the NAACP branch and the Recorder.
