Novartis Teams
Up With HBCUs to Combat Systemic Racial Disparities in Healthcare
As an initial step, the Novartis US Foundation plans to invest
$20 million in scholarships, mentorships, and research grants over the next
10 years to help create equitable access to high-quality education and
professional development for HBCU students in health-related fields. This
will include three-year scholarships of $10,000 a year for up to 360 students
at select HBCUs. |

Study Finds
Black Access to Healthcare Lags in States That Show a High Level of
Structural Racism
The results showed that the higher the level of racism in a given
state, the less access Black people in that state had to health care. The
higher the level of racism in a given state, the more access White people had
to health care. In addition, the worse the state’s racism score, the higher
the quality of care White people reported receiving. |
