Health disparities in the city are high. Part of the problem is a lack of access to high-quality and emergency care facilities. Plans are in the works to change that. A new hospital will be built in Ward 8, along with several healthcare clinics in lower-income areas. Thank you to our speakers, Kimberly Russo, Chief Executive Officer of The George Washington University Hospital, and Kelly Sweeny McShane, Chief Executive Officer of Community of Hope.
