Out of an abundance of caution, the DCTC campus is closing at 4 p.m. to ensure students & employees on campus can travel home safely.
What are racial health disparities, and how do they persist? Why are Black and Indigenous women three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than are White women? How do social determinants of health disproportionately impact Black and Indigenous women? What role can complementary and integrative health care play in achieving more equitable wellness outcomes for communities of color?
Facilitator: Currently serving as a professor and chair at Northwestern Health Sciences University, Dr. Tolu Oyelowo is a chiropractor whose formal education also includes a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, a master’s degree in management, and a PhD in public health.
