Centering Equity and Community in the Recovery of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed socioeconomic, geographic, and medical vulnerabilities in our country. In North Carolina, inequalities resulting from centuries of structural racism exacerbate disparate impacts of infection and death. We propose three opportunities that leaders in our state can embrace to move toward equity as we weather, and emerge from, this pandemic.
