Black people and Latinos in the U.S. experienced a 2.9- & 3-year decline in life expectancy, respectively, in 2020, compared with a 1.2-year decline for Whites. Sobering stats that expose systemic and structural racism have cemented inequities into America’s foundation.

We remember Levi Watkins Jr M.D. who implanted the first defibrillator at Johns Hopkins in a patient in 1980. He was the first black Vanderbilt medical student entering in 1966, graduating in 1970 and an advocate for health equity. He passed April 11 2015 drleviwatkinsjr.com
