Listen "Code Wack - Segregation in Health Care: America’s Racist—and Deadly—Legacy"
Episode Synopsis
This time on HEAL California’s Medicare for All podcast, Code WACK!, we’re uncovering the shocking history of racial segregation in hospitals—and the fight to end it.
What did segregation in health care really look like? Was it just a Southern problem, or were hospitals in the North just as complicit? And what finally forced hospitals to desegregate—despite years of resistance?
Join us as we speak with Dr. Barbara Berney, public health scholar and producer of the documentary Power to Heal: Medicare and the Civil Rights Revolution, to explore the tragic consequences of hospital segregation—and how Medicare helped bring it to an end.
