Einstein Joins Health
Systems in Addressing
Racism Einstein Healthcare Network
announced that it was joining
38 other health systems in
addressing racism and public
health disparities caused by
racism. Participants are members
of the Healthcare Anchor
Network, a national collabo-
ration of health care systems,
which published the “Racism
is a Public Health Crisis”
document. “The higher rates of disease
and death from COVID-19
among African American
and communities of color, has
magnified the systemic racism
and healthcare disparities that
exist in society,” said Barry
R. Freedman, president and
CEO for Einstein Healthcare
Network. Einstein and its partners
in the Healthcare Anchor
Network said they are
committed to improving
primary and specialty care,
helping communities overcome
chronic diseases, and hiring

investing in local communi-
ties, among other pledges.

Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia also has signed
on to the “Racism is a Public
Health Crisis” document. l
