Join a Community Dialouge About Inequities in Health
Join Multnomah County in learning how your health is more than health care or personal choice. Each episode of the PBS documentary Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? will sound the alarm about America’s glaring socio-economic and racial inequities in health, and search for root causes. The series contains 7 episodes, which will be shown in March and April. Free and open to the public.
You can go to the Health Equity Initiative* page at:
http://www.mchealth.org/healthequity/
There’s a link to the calendar of screenings as well as a link to a preview clip of “Unnatural Causes” on the right side of the page.
You can also watch the series on OPB starting on March 27th:

You can find additional local data on racial and ethnic health disparities posted at:

*The Health Equity Initiative works to address the root causes of socioeconomic and racial injustices that lead to health disparities.
