MA Crisis Standard of Care Guidelines
LXB Advocacy Center organized the mobilization of physicians, ethicists, and public health experts to advocate for revising Massachusetts’ COVID19 Crisis Standard of Care Guidelines.
LXB collaborated with legislators and media outlets to challenge the inequitable policy. As a result, a policy outlining how ventilators and therapeutics would be allocated was revised within a month to protect LatinX patients with comorbidities from disproportionate, inequitable treatment.
