Tell the Director of the National Institute of Health (NIH) to stop rewarding the University of Arizona Medical Center with millions of dollars in federal grants
Why is this important?
I am a local activist who is concerned about community access to mental health services. I was shocked when I discovered the University of Arizona Medical Center (UAMC), the largest provider of behavioral and mental health in-patient care in Southern Arizona, doesn't have a single black physician working at its treatment facility. This shameful situation sends a clear message about which segment of the community the UAMC, a nationally recognized teaching institution, serves and which one it doesn't. Tell the National Institute of Health to stop giving millions of dollars in federal grants to the UAMC because its hiring record is inconsistent with a true commitment to serving all Southern Arizonans.
