Untold Stories - Chinatown Health Fair & The Charles B. Wang Community Health Center
This story explores how discrimination drove Chinese migrants from the West Coast to New York City and how social services initially failed to address community concerns. It also details how the journey of the Chinatown Health Fair led to the creation of the Chinatown Health Clinic. The clinic is run by volunteers, including doctors, social workers, and students.
Untold Stories in Public Health is a course that introduces students to individuals, groups, and events whose impact on public health have been left out of US history. From African American physicians whose work has gone unnoticed to policy makers whose legacy has yet to be written, this course reviews the unsung heroes, their impact, the discrimination and structural racism they faced, and the work they left behind. You can learn more about the class and project on the website: https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/academics/departments/health-policy-management/news-events/untold-stories.
