HARRISBURG, Pa., April 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ A new report by AARP Pennsylvania and Drexel University s College of Nursing and Health Professions highlights how geographic, racial/ethnic and economic factors are combining to restrict access to healthcare services for many Pennsylvanians, creating disparities that have become more pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Disrupting Disparities in Pennsylvania: Retooling for Geographic, Racial and Ethnic Growth shows that health inequities are most acute among those living in rural and low resourced areas of the state, and among underrepresented populations (particularly Black/African American and Latino), who lack access to health care, experience digital divide, and face persistent local healthcare workforce shortages. The study draws on interviews with key stakeholders statewide, a comprehensive literature review, and analyses of databases on the health of Pennsylvanians.
