Share this video and stay updated on the pulse oximeter issue.

In November 2023, Roots Community Health addressed a critical issue: inaccurate pulse oximeter readings that disproportionately affect Black patients, potentially leading to fatal outcomes during the pandemic's peak.

Join Roots Community Health in our pursuit to ensure pulse oximeters are labeled accurately and that clinics serving Black and brown patients are equipped with reliable devices. Your skin tone shouldn't determine your health outcomes! The fight for equitable healthcare continues as we push for reliable pulse oximeters.

Stand with us to raise awareness, educate others, and advocate for equitable access to accurate medical technologies. Inform your medical provider about pulse oximeter accuracy issues. If you believe you or someone you know could be affected, take action!
