Links for Finding Black Doctors

Some statistics I have found about having a black doctor are below:

  1. Research finds having a Black doctor results in a reduction in pain and anxiety for Black patients.
  2. Black men seen by Black doctors agreed to more preventative care services than those seen by non-Black doctors.
  3. Increased screening by a more diverse doctor workforce closes the life expectancy gap between whites and blacks. 

Aka, if you're black and reading this, GET YOU A BLACK DOCTOR.
