Reducing Cardiovascular Risk in Minorities
Guest: LaPrincess C. Brewer, M.D., M.P.H., (@DrLaPrincess)
Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky)
Health disparities are differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, burden of disease and other adverse health conditions among specific population groups.
Health care disparities are differences in health care coverage, access to care and quality of care between those groups. Health care disparities limit people's ability to achieve health equity — the equally fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
Joining us today to discuss research in health care disparities is LaPrincess C. Brewer, M.D., M.P.H., a preventive cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- Health disparities versus health care disparities
- Health equity explained
- COVID-19 pandemic and the social determinants of health
- Socioeconomic, racial and ethnic issues
- FAITH! cardiovascular health and wellness program
- FAITH! data and outcomes
- Next steps for providers
