Be Healthy A PUBLICATION OF THE BAY STATE BANNER

MEDIA KIT 2020


Background

Fall 2017

BE HEALTHY WAS DEVELOPED BY THE BAY STATE BANNER IN RESPONSE TO THE BOSTON PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSION’S DISPARITIES PROJECT that determined that the incidence and death rates of several illnesses were significantly higher in blacks than any other group in the city. Many of these illnesses and conditions are preventable or highly controllable once diagnosed.

Another report — “Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care” — by the Institute of Medicine brought to light the difference in quality of treatment for racial and ethnic minorities nationwide. Added to this problem is a patient’s lack of health literacy, or inability to understand health care information.
