Let's K12 Better

Let's Talk About... Wellness and Sexual Health Advocacy

Mom Of All Capes Season 1 Episode 12

How does implicit bias, racism, and inequity determine the type of care that patients receive when they go to the doctor or the emergency room? What is the work being done to actively empower those disproportionately impacted by sexual health and other health disparities? How would addressing the inequities of those at the margins, improve healthcare outcomes for all? 

In this episode, we sit down with Renee Pitter MPH, who has dedicated her life to wellness and sexual health advocacy. Learn more about her work on the Center for sexuality and health disparities website: https://www.sexualityandhealth.org/
