Smashing Barriers to Health Care for Black Seniors | The Tyee The system wasn’t designed with Black people in mind. Elvenia Gray-Sandiford has a plan to change that. A Tyee Q&A.

Black seniors have to deal with anti-Black racism, a health system never designed for them AND ageism. I spoke with @harambealliance.bsky.social's Elvenia Gray-Sandiford about how to change that. First, we need data to establish baselines, then plan a path for improvement. thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...
