Racial Health Disparities Could Widen As States Grapple With Trump Cuts, Experts Warn
Racial health disparities may widen as states and nonprofits grapple with federal funding cuts to programs aimed at filling gaps in care.
Hundreds of grants have been terminated for state, local, and territorial health departments as well as nonprofits and universities, many of which addressed health equity across rural, low-income, and communities of color.
Public health experts warn that the Trump administration's federal restructuring and crackdown on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs may exacerbate the issue.
The Trump administration has been shuttering federal offices and rescinding grants dedicated to addressing healthcare access and outcomes for racial minorities.
The shake-up has caused some state agencies and nonprofits to pause programs, with some groups and universities applying for foundation grants instead.
