Posted by Monte Maxwell.November 8th, 2021
There are three new Art in the Libraries exhibits on display at the Health Sciences Center and the HSC Library.
West Virginia People of Color in Healthcare
Health Sciences Center Pylons, November 2021-May 2022
Healthcare in the Mountain State, like many areas in rural Appalachia has obstacles to overcome such as employing a diverse population of providers and equitable access to quality healthcare. Historically, People of Color in health care navigated their own path through discrimination, segregation, and systemic racism to become practitioners. Today’s practitioners continue the legacy of providing communities quality care and generating People of Color’s increased trust in medical institutions thus increasing the quality of public health and well-being. This exhibit looks at the past, present and future of West Virginia People of Color in Healthcare with historical imagery and text, current perspectives and WVU initiatives and more.
