What to know about Black Allergy & Immunology care

Black children are 4 times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma and 10 times more likely to die from it than white children (CDC, 2022). Food allergy prevalence is also higher in Black children, yet Black patients are less likely to receive epinephrine at the point of reaction. Allergists-immunologists diagnose and treat severe asthma, food allergies, drug allergies, chronic hives, eczema, and primary immune deficiencies.

Ask whether they are accepting new patients, what insurance they accept, and whether they offer telehealth or in-person visits. It is also worth asking about their experience with conditions relevant to you, their communication style, and how they handle after-hours questions or urgent concerns.
