A conversation with authors Sejal Shah and Esmé Weijun Wang moderated by Dr. Jennifer Ho
Community-based nonprofits have anchored immigrants through the turbulence of the ongoing health crisis and social unrest, providing often ignored individuals and families refuge and the means to weather these unsettling times. Moreover, the presidential elections bring both challenges and opportunities for immigrants and their nonprofit providers and advocates. Join us online for a live conversation with leaders of immigrant-serving organizations who will share how their nonprofits are responding to the urgent needs of their communities.
Initiated in 2008, the Mailman School of Public Health Grand Rounds is a community conversation on the science, education, and practice of public health. The series provides an intellectual space within which to explore national and global public health challenges and the innovative approaches needed to transform the public’s health in the 21st century. COVID-19 has served as a magnifying glass on a broken, structurally racist and unequal health system which falls grievously short of protecting communities of color, the aged and the vulnerable. It also has highlighted the devastating consequences of our country’s absence of a public health system charged with protecting and elevating health for all.
