Dr. Dorian Richardson and I sit down to discuss what is up with the racial disparities we are seeing with COVID-19, particularly the high mortality rates amongst African Americans. Dr. Dorian addresses the underlying factors that we need to be aware of and what we can do differently to help dispel inequality in the healthcare system as Naturopathic Doctors.
