When Black doctor Susan Moore died from COVID-19 after posting a video from her hospital bed describing racist treatment by medical staff, her chilling message was compared to the video of George Floyd begging for his life as he was killed by Minneapolis police. We speak to two leading Black women doctors fighting racial disparities in healthcare who wrote The Washington Post opinion piece, \u201cSay her name: Dr. Susan Moore.\u201d \u201cIt is a typical and ongoing devaluation of our lives and distrust of our word,\u201d says Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones, a family physician and former president of the American Public Health Association. Dr. Joia Crear-Perry, president of the National Birth Equity Collaborative, says Dr. Moore\u2019s complaints about being disrespected by medical staff are \u201creally familiar\u201d to her. \u201cWe\u2019ve found that Black patients, Black birthing people are not valued; they\u2019re not listened to,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
