“COVID-19 is a public health problem and so is racism. Every day, discrimination takes an emotional and physiological toll on a person’s health, leading to chronic health problems and a shorter life span,” said Dr. Jhansi Koduri, a hematologist-oncologist who completed her residency in internal medicine at Wright State University in 2001. “This is a humanitarian and public health crisis. Many of our colleagues share the same values and feel the need to show our support.”
