Zip Code, not Genetic Code, Predicts Life Expectancy
Health care and the social determinants of health are unequal. Depending on which zip code you live in, your life expectancy can decrease by 24 years. Our goal is to make an impact on the 24 most important years of life expectancy in the United States -- the health gap.
Healthcare is Unequal
COVID-19 doesn't discriminate,
but our Healthcare system does
Because of health inequities, minorities experience higher rates of chronic diseases, which leads to COVID-19’s disproportionate impact. The confluence of our anti-racist social movement and COVID-19 is exposing our gross inequities in healthcare.
