Recent Lawsuit: Racial Concordance in Healthcare Takes Center Stage

At the heart of a recent lawsuit filed by a physician is whether the medical profession’s understanding and practice of racial concordance is legally defensible. “Find-A-Black-Doctor” has served as a platform for Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color (BIPOC) to locate providers who can offer them the best holistic treatment. However, some see this as discrimination against white-majority physicians, curtailing their access to potential patients.
