On Dr. James Haney’s channel you will find videos discussing health concerns facing the African American population.

Not only are there varying health concerns between populations, but there is rising concern over the patient care and medical attention paid to minority groups. South Carolina-based doctor and icyou contributor Dr. Thaddeus Bell has a mission to decrease health disparities by providing information to underserved populations.
