​Pharmacy Efforts to Dismantle Health Disparities

by Emily A. LaMonte, 2023 PharmD Candidate, Hope E. Schier, 2024 PharmD Candidate, Kane G. Carstens, 2024 PharmD Candidate, Marissa L. Hakala, 2023 PharmD Candidate, Eva M. Vivian, PharmD, MS, PhD

"According to the 2019 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report, Blacks, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Hispanics receive worse care than Whites. This adds to existing evidence that certain racial and ethnic groups have limited access to healthcare. These limitations contribute to health disparities. The Office of Disease Control and Prevention and Health Promotion's Healthy People 2020 initiative defines a health disparity as “a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/ or environmental disadvantage. Health disparities adversely affect people who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; age; mental health; cognitive, sensory, or physical disability; sexual orientation or gender identity; geographic location; or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion.”
