This past year
COVID-19 has presented unprecedented challenges to our healthcare systems, to our healthcare providers and to our patients. It has also shone a bright light on inequities in quality and access to care for vulnerable populations. At the outset of the pandemic, to care for my patients, I created a safe drive-thru clinic which continues to exist today.
It is crucial that we examine the social and economic barriers to healthcare so we can eliminate them and expand health care delivery in our nation. Together, we must insist on the delivery of quality affordable care within the context of the social injustices and economic challenges our patients encounter.
