« Back to the History and Health: Racial Equity Symposium
The VCU Office of Health Equity will host The Color of Care film screening, panel discussion and reception on September 27 from 4-7 p.m., at the Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA) at the Markel Center, 601 W Broad St, Richmond, VA 23220.
About the film
The documentary from executive producer, Oprah Winfrey, chronicles how people of color suffer from systemically substandard healthcare in the United States and how COVID-19 has exposed the tragic consequences of this inequity.
Panel discussion
Dr. Carlos Smith, Director, Diversity, Ethics and Inclusion at the VCU School of Dentistry, will lead a panel discussion following the film. Light refreshments and fellowship will be available immediately following the program.
Registration
This event, co-sponsored by VCU Health and the VCU School of Dentistry, is free and open to the community, but space is limited. Registration is required and you can select the option to attend during the checkout process for the History and Health: Racial Equity Symposium or register for the event separately.
Registration is now closed.
Attendance
We encourage everyone to attend the screening in person; however, if that is not an option, a virtual viewing will be available. We will provide a link in advance of the screening event to all registrants.
Attendance at this event will meet partial requirements towards earning a foundational History and Health digital badge, and count towards the VCU Health Systems DEI learning requirements.
