Dr O N Ray Bignall II
This past week, I had the privilege of attending a panel discussion on health in the African American community hosted by my local church. Black community health professionals shared insightful advice, promoting health-seeking behavior in communities of color. Yet, when it was time for audience questions, the program took an unexpected turn: person after person lined up to share stories of mistreatment and disregard at the hands of medical professionals. It was painful to hear how little my community trusted health professionals like me to be a part of their healing.
