Perspectives on Health: (In)Equity Across Communities

Amidst a global pandemic, the status of our mental and physical health has been brought to the forefront this past year and highlighted the effects of stress on our well-being. The pandemic has also brought attention to the disparities in healthcare access across different populations. 

Pitt alumnae and faculty members, Anna Marsland and Abimbola Fapohunda, will discuss the impact that stress and other factors have on our susceptibility to viral infection and response to vaccination, and the importance of taking action to address the long-standing disparities that existed in health equity worldwide and at home. Their conversation will be moderated by Mario Browne, the inaugural Associate Dean for Equity, Engagement, and Justice, and Associate Professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Pittsburgh.
