STUDENT-LED OCTOBER FORUM
Segregation in Healthcare
Join us Tuesday October 22 at 7:30pm EST for our Student-Led Forum: Segregation in Healthcare. RSVP and share this link to invite others to attend: bit.ly/Oct2024Forum
Learn more about the governmental policies, corporate interests, and hospital actions that drive healthcare segregation in NYC, and how this makes it difficult to provide equitable care for Black, disabled, immigrant, and working-class New Yorkers. Discussions will touch on previous and ongoing efforts to end the segregation of healthcare and ways to get plugged into current campaigns to organize for a more just healthcare system. We will also highlight the interconnectedness of movements to expand public healthcare programs and to end the segregation of healthcare.
Speakers include:
NYC Against Segregated Healthcare (NYCASH) Medical Student Organizers: NYCASH is a collective of healthcare trainees, workers, and community members organizing to end the segregation of healthcare in NYC.
Dr. Hazel Lever, MD MPH, primary care physician at Center for Refugee Health and Unity in Rochester, New York and health advocate.

Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) is a single-issue organization advocating a universal, comprehensive single-payer national health program. PNHP has 22,000 members and over 50 chapters across the United States.
Since 1987, we've advocated for reform in the U.S. health care system. We educate physicians and other health professionals about the benefits of a single-payer system--including fewer administrative costs and affording health insurance for the 30 million Americans who have none.
Our members and physician activists work toward a single-payer national health program in their communities. PNHP performs ground breaking research on the health crisis and the need for fundamental reform, coordinates speakers and forums, participates in town hall meetings and debates, contributes scholarly articles to peer-reviewed medical journals, and appears regularly on national television and news programs advocating for a single-payer system.
PNHP is the only national physician organization in the United States dedicated exclusively to implementing a single-payer national health program.
