Marcus Whitney wants people to understand that Nashville’s healthcare system is rooted in systemic racism. He’s an entrepreneur, author and member of LaunchTN’s Board of Directors, and in the summer of 2020, he wrote an essay entitled “Calling Up to Nashville’s Health Care Leaders” which addressed those problems and called upon leaders to make a change. In this episode, Marcus explains why he decided to write the piece and how he’s working to address the current disparities by investing in Black founders.
