About the talk
Efforts to train health providers in cultural competency, expand wellness education programs and community health centers, and increase access to health insurance have only had a modest effect on reducing health disparities. This talk will focus on evidence-based legal remedies that accurately address implicit and unintentional forms of discrimination in order to eradicate health disparities from the American health care system.
Dayna Bowen Matthew is Professor at University of Colorado Law School and the School of Public Health. She serves on the faculty of the Center for Bioethics and Humanities, and is co-founder of the Colorado Health Equity Project, a medical legal partnership whose mission is to remove barriers to good health for low-income clients. Her latest book is Just Medicine: A Cure for Racial Inequality in American Health Care.
