This virtual panel discussion led by moderator Tom McKone, will focus on what Vermont institutions are doing to identify and eradicate racism. Following the murder of George Floyd, the Vermont Legislature, professional societies, and community groups pronounced racism a public health emergency. Panelists will share insights on whether this proclamation has driven changes to policies, laws, and resource allocation in the goal to advance racial equity and eliminate race-based health disparities and systemic inequities.
