"Seperate and Unequal': MLK Hospital Faces Crisis on Top of Crisis

The Martin Luther King Hospital emergency entrance is a hub of activity on Wednesday, January 27, 2021. The population served by MLK is largely Latino and Black, both communities that have been hit hard by the pandemic. Many residents live in dense, multi-generational housing, work essential jobs and suffer from secondary health conditions due to a lifelong, systemic lack of access to quality primary care.
