Ohio ranks 3rd in our list of the most racist states in America ranked by hate crimes. Ohio is actively addressing the issue of racism and its impact on public health. In 2014, the state initiated CelebrateOne, a program aimed at reducing infant mortality in Columbus, with a particular focus on minority neighborhoods where this problem is more pronounced. Furthermore, local hospitals in the area are also taking steps to confront racism. The Ohio State Medical Center, for instance, has been running anti-racism initiatives for several years, with an increased commitment to these efforts following the George Floyd protests.
