Episode Synopsis

Health disparities faced by communities of color across the country are no secret. Black and Latino populations face higher prevalence of and worse outcomes for many conditions. COVID-19 disproportionately affects people of color. The interplay between socioeconomic status and health is well-documented, access to care is challenge and bias – implicit and explicit – damages trust and creates barriers to care.
It’s long past time for that to change, and we have a responsibility to build a more inclusive, equitable and accessible healthcare system. It all starts with belonging.
In this episode, we hear from Marquise Stillwell of Openbox, Sonia Thompson of Thompson Media Group, Paul Matsen of the Cleveland Clinic and Matt Gove of Summit City MD on what diversity, equity and inclusion looks like in healthcare and how providers can make progress towards helping everyone feel - and be - seen when they pursue care.
