Let’s take a retrospective look at how the entertainment industry has portrayed Black physicians and patients over the years, and amplify the impact these portrayals have had on health equity, healthcare representation in social media, and real-world outcomes in Black communities.

This Blackweek discussion is proudly sponsored by Omnicom Group. We’re grateful for their generous support and commitment to right-sizing industries to help create more opportunity for equity and ownership.
