Disparity of Care

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS ON HOSPICE USE IN URBAN AND RURAL AMERICA

The fact that race/ethnicity and social vulnerability negatively impact health outcomes was again exposed this past year through the Coronavirus pandemic. These same variables also affect how the vulnerable die. How have social determinants perpetuated an underutilization of hospice care for racial/ethnic minorities and the poor? What methods are showing signs of progress as healthcare professionals look to improve outcomes in palliative and hospice care? 

Join us as Rev. Diane Smith, leader of Angela Hospice’s African American Church Empowerment Project, explores this important topic.
