Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging 

 

Racism is a public health crisis.  The Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging stands with the Wisconsin Public Health Association and so many others in recognizing racism as an epidemic that drives persistent discrimination, poor health outcomes and health inequities at all stages of life.  We raise our voices with the public health community in demanding local, state, and national leaders acknowledge that racist language, practices and policies exist and take steps to eradicate them.
 
We commit to doing the same.
