Despite astounding medical advances there are people all around us who face gaps in accessing the healthcare they need. Children of color are less likely to receive painkillers for appendicitis, fractures, and migraines. Women with dementia get worse medical care than men despite living longer with the condition. And people with disabilities get less preventative care such as blood pressure checks, cholesterol screening, and mammograms. Pamela Abner tells us about how her team at the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City works to collect valid and reliable data that helps them identify and tackle health disparities in their community.
