Dr. Mayra Galeano on Viewing Wilmington's Life Expectancy Gap Up Close
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Data showing that the community surrounding Portia Mills Hines Park has the lowest life expectancy in Wilmington is stark. But what does that reality look like up close—and what’s being done about it?
In this episode, Shoresides speaks with Dr. Mayra Galeano, the chief medical officer at a clinic close to the problem. She tells us what it's like to provide care in the community. The clinic is open to everyone, serving Black and Latino residents among others—and patients don’t need insurance.
