Type 2 Inflammation: Health Disparities & Impact on Minority Populations

Women In Government Podcast

Women In Government Podcast Type 2 Inflammation: Health Disparities & Impact on Minority Populations People living with type 2 inflammatory diseases often feel limited by unpredictable symptoms and isolated in their experiences. For example, the condition can contribute to the debilitating itch of atopic dermatitis or (AD), and sometimes life-threatening asthma attacks, or the loss of smell and taste associated with chronic rhinosinusitis or (CRS) with nasal polyps. Living with these chronic diseases and searching for control, people have looked for answers and found few. On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses the health disparities of this chronic condition, the disproportionate impact on minority populations, and the prevalence of this disease across the country. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Illinois State Senator, Mattie Hunter, Midwestern Regional Director, WIG Board of Directors GUEST #1: Dr. Gary Puckrein, Ph.D., President, National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) GUEST #2: Kenny Mendez, CEO and President, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) GUEST #3: Dr. Debra Sierka, PharmD., Head of Dermatology, US Medical Affairs, Sanofi Genzyme ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com
