 is reflected in the pandemics’ disproportionate effect on communities of 
 color. Women’s diseases are often missed and misdiagnosed. Women and 
 people of color are often ignored by the medical profession. Clinical 
 studies and research are typically limited to white male patients when we 
 know that women’s bodies are different. We will also explore the 
 long-term impact of discrimination and micro-aggressions on our 
 bodies.\n\nPlease join the League of Women Voters Bay Area as we host a 
 revealing discussion about Race and gender disparities in healthcare with 
 our expert speakers:\n\nDr. Susan Rogers, immediate past President of the 
 Physicians for a National Program (PNHP) and assistant professor of 
 medicine at Rush University. She is a longtime advocate for health care 
 justice and racial equity. Dr. Rogers has testified before Congress and 
 spoken to both medical and community audiences throughout the country.\n 
 \nKavita Ramdas, Activist in Residence for the Global Fund for Women and 
 Director of the Women’s Rights Program at the Open Society Foundation. 
 Ms. Ramdas is a globally recognized advocate for gender equity and justice. 
 She is also a thought commentator on gender and racial equity.\n
