The cities of Lakewood and Euclid have been recognized by the Cuyahoga County Board of Health for their efforts to address racism after the health department declared racism a public health crisis.
In 2020, the health department voted on a resolution to declare racism a public health crisis in Cuyahoga County, addressing systemic racism and the disparities Black people face in terms of healthcare, the criminal justice system, food accessibility, business opportunities, affordable housing, transportation, educational opportunities and other areas of life.
