We are two first year med students working with the Department of Health to increase awareness about racial disparities in infant mortality. A recent Health Status Assessment of Charlottesville-Albemarle found a striking racial disparity in infant mortality right here in our community, and we are screening a documentary segment "When the Bough Breaks" that gives context and background to these statistics. A facilitated discussion after the screening will connect the documentary back to the Charlottesville data. Refreshments will be served!

What: A screening of "When the Bough Breaks" segment from the “Unnatural Causes”documentary

When: Wednesday, October 29^th, at 7:00 pm

Where: Jordan Hall 1-5(classroom auditorium, just to the right inside front lobby of Jordan Hall)

Discussion facilitated by:

-Dr. Norm Oliver, Director of the Center for Health Disparities

-Karen Waters, Executive Director of the Quality Community Council
