Olajide Williams - The next epidemic will be the epidemic of trauma and PTSD
The Color of COVID-19: “Disparate Impact, Inequitable Response”
A Town Hall Meeting on Race and Health Equity
More than six months into the COVID-19 crisis, it has become glaringly clear that the impacts of the pandemic are not felt equally by all. We may all be in the same storm, but we’re not in the same boat. Black, Latinx, and Native Americans bear an unequal burden in both the number of cases and the number of deaths compared with whites. Meanwhile, Asians Americans have faced a spike in reactionary xenophobia. These trendlines have worsened as the months drag on—continuing to expose the structural racism and injustices that underpin these disparate health outcomes. How can the U.S. right the ship? What are the near and long term interventions needed to correct these gross inequities...

The Color of COVID-19: “Disparate Impact, Inequitable Response”
A Town Hall Meeting on Race and Health Equity
More than six months into the COVID-19 crisis, it has become glaringly clear that the impacts of the pandemic are not felt equally by all. We may all be in the same storm, but we’re not in the same boat. Black, Latinx, and Native Americans bear an unequal burden in both the number of cases and the number of deaths compared with whites. Meanwhile, Asians Americans have faced a spike in reactionary xenophobia. These trendlines have worsened as the months drag on—continuing to expose the structural racism and injustices that underpin these disparate health outcomes. How can the U.S. right the ship? What are the near and long term interventions needed to correct these gross inequities? Who are the innovative problem solvers working on the frontlines of this crisis?
Dr Olajide Williams is a tenured Professor of Neurology at Columbia University and Chief of Staff of the Department of Neurology at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is a world-renowned leader in stroke disparities and behavior change research in communities of color, and a principal investigator of multiple NIH investigator-initiated awards. Dr Williams has served on several national panels on health disparities, and he is a member of the 2021-2026 National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Strategic Planning Committee. An influential clinician-educator, Dr. Williams is a member of the Columbia University’s Virginia Apgar Academy of Medical Educators and Academy of Community and Public Service.
He is currently co-Chair of Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s Anti-Racism Task Force, Special Advisor to the Executive Vice President and Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine for Community Affairs, and co-director of the Columbia University Community Wellness Center. Dr Williams is a member of the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons neuroscience course teaching faculty. He sits on the editorial board of Stroke - the pre-eminent journal in the field of stroke – and has published numerous scholarly peer-reviewed articles, including serving as an editor of the “Handbook of Neurological Therapeutics” and as the author of the book "Stroke Diaries". Dr Williams is the founder and board chair of Hip Hop Public Health, an internationally recognized organization that uses the power of music to create and implement multimedia health promotion programs and resources to improve health literacy and inspire behavior change among young people of color and their families.
He is a board member of the Partnership for a Healthier America whose honorary chair is former First Lady Michelle Obama, and has received many prestigious international, national, and regional awards. These include the European Stroke Research Foundation Investigator of the Year award, two-time Columbia University Outstanding Teacher of the Year award for the Major Clinical Year, American Heart Association’s Trailblazer award, and a National Humanism in Medicine award from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Dr. Williams has been named on Fast Company Magazine’s 100 Most Creative People list, Root 100’s most influential Blacks in America list, and consecutive New York Magazine's Best Doctors list.
Join us for a conversation where we will explore the underlying causes of the pandemic’s disparate impact on non-White communities as well as the inequitable response by governmental entities, policymakers, philanthropy and media producers to those outcomes.
