Demystifying Healthcare Policy: How Laws Dictate Survival in Underserved Communities

Healthcare laws and policies are notoriously convoluted―and oftentimes contradictory depending on factors such as geography, gender, and even race. And while the start of a new federal administration is cause for (cautious) optimism when it comes to healthcare, it is still critically important for individuals and communities to understand how policies can directly impact their health, and how they can make a case for defending their rights and specific needs.

Join our panel of experts as they unpack how laws and policies impact the day-to-day and long-term health of underserved BIPOC communities, addressing:

- How to identify and navigate disconnects between state and federal healthcare laws
- Exploring the possibilities, and challenges, of the new Federal administration when it comes to healthcare
- Specific legal cases and paths forward that impact LGBTQIA+ and POC communities

Panelists will also discuss the importance of awareness and education campaigns so that underserved communities can learn how to influence―and work to change―healthcare policies.
