1011. Health Disparities and Rare Neuroimmune Disorders

Krissy Dilger of SRNA was joined by Dr. Mitzi Joi Williams for an
“Ask the Expert” podcast on "Health Disparities and Rare
Neuroimmune Disorders.” Dr. Williams began by defining health
disparities, individual health, and population health. Next, she
explained the importance of social determinants of health. She
discussed the ways in which economic, social, and environmental
factors impact health and how marginalized populations are
traditionally most impacted by disparities. Finally, Dr. Williams
shared recommendations for health care providers and advocacy
organizations to address or mitigate the impact of some of these
health disparities and actively help to bridge these gaps.
