Trust in healthcare isn’t automatic for Black patients — it’s earned. Historical harm, ongoing inequities, and lived experiences continue to shape how Black communities navigate the healthcare system today. For many, choosing a doctor starts with one essential question: Where will I be safe? Safety, autonomy, and feeling truly heard often matter just as much as credentials or convenience.
In this conversation with Dr. Jayne Morgan, we explore why Black patients are more intentional about who they trust with their care and how that decision-making is rooted in both history and present-day realities. We also examine what it means to advocate for yourself when the system wasn’t designed with you in mind. Ultimately, this discussion centers on reclaiming agency and demanding healthcare relationships that honor dignity, respect, and well-being.
