  • Description: [...]that means if you see education as a proxy for having access to health care, and having all the information to stay healthy during pregnancy, and to have a healthy baby, and to have a healthy life, then why would the discrepancy be wider at the more educated end?” Villarosa adds that “even Black families who are wealthy are more likely to experience infant mortality and maternal mortality or morbidity. Anna Reisman, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Program for Humanities in Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA, praises Villarosa's writing on “complex issues around racism and health, and her ability to bring so many untold stories to a large audience—with nuance and clarity and often, a call to action. “In this country, we spend so much money on health care, and on clinical innovation and technical improvements, when what patients will tell you is ‘of course we appreciate that, but there needs to be some more care in health care’”, she says.
