Black patients and Pediatrics
Black pediatricians: primary care for infants, kids, and teens. Racial concordance is linked to better vaccine uptake and asthma outcomes.
Black children are 4 times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma, twice as likely to die of SIDS, and significantly less likely to be adequately treated for pain in emergency rooms (AAP, 2024). A 2020 PNAS study found Black newborn mortality is cut roughly in half when cared for by Black physicians. Pediatricians see kids from birth through age 21 for well-child visits, immunizations, school physicals, behavioral concerns, and chronic disease.
