AdventHealth honors ‘White Coats for Black Lives’

AdventHealth physicians, nurses and other team members across Central Florida took bended knee together in solidarity with other health care professionals across the nation for a moment of silent reflection as part of the White Coats for Black Lives campaign.

The movement is centered on combatting higher rates of disease among black communities, higher barriers of entry to the health care industry for black individuals, lower rates of black medical students and the fear among black individuals to seek care.
