Why Is Life Expectancy Declining in Our Community?
•
Pernessa C. Seele
Life expectancy for Black Americans is four years shorter than it was 20 years ago.
In this episode, Dr. P delves into this sobering statistic. She identifies youth suicide as well as maternal and infant mortality among the factors that contribute to the overall decline in Black Americans' lifespans.
Dr. P urges concerned listeners to attend the Healthy Churches 2030 Conference, which will feature expert presentations on these topics, including steps we can take individually and collectively in response.
