Hello. My name is Jenna Hemenway and my podcast is about inequality in the healthcare system. My specific topic is how racial inequality in the healthcare system affects people's overall health. My research was done through the school's Galileo library and articles I found there. I mainly focused on inequality against African Americans, but there is one article I found about Asian Americans and their experience with discrimination in healthcare. A lot of the articles I talk about in my podcast either constructed a study, or was about a study they found. I talk briefly about the authors findings from these studies in my podcast and how they are important. I hope that listeners will become informed with facts about racial inequality in healthcare and will create their own opinions from mine and others research. Knowing this information, people can become aware of what is going on in hospitals and clinics near them and hopefully will be interested to do their own research. I hope you decide to listen to my podcast to learn about inequality in healthcare.
