WTMJ: How One Black Doctor Is Fighting Racial Disparity In Health Care

Dr. Latosha Harper noticed a great lack of Black health care providers, which ultimately impacted her family's experience.

Less than six percent of doctors in the U.S. are Black, but one doctor at Froedtert Hospital is working to fight that racial disparity across health care.

Dr. LaTosha Harper is a doctor at the Froedtert McKinley Health Center in downtown Milwaukee where she specializes in family medicine. She realized she had a calling for it after losing her father and grandfather.

"Eventually, I was like 'I need to be a doctor.' I can make a difference cause I had seen it. My father was getting sicker and my grandfather wasn't doing well and I'm just like, 'it's not making sense,'" said Dr. Harper.
