Listen "Ep 132 – Building a Community of Love and Equity: The Power of Workforce Development, Advocacy, and Community Partnerships, with Geoffrey M. Roche"
Episode Synopsis
As we look around to see what is enduring in our society, it is the work that was accomplished through loving relationships and mutual understanding. The power of love-driven leadership has the potential to change the world; and in healthcare, it can transform the lives of people undergoing immense suffering. Healthcare leaders must collaborate on solutions to overcome barriers in health equity through a deeply rooted commitment to social justice and love to improve the human condition. Leaders in population health must be willing to step forward – even if it is uncomfortable – to build a community of love that will last forever.
On the Race to Value this week, we interview Geoffrey M. Roche – a leader in healthcare innovation, future-focused strategy, DE&I, and workforce development. This is a conversation that all healthcare leaders should hear. Geoffrey engaged this interview with utmost authenticity as leader with a willingness to get in “good trouble” for speaking about the issues that many would prefer to ignore or not accept as real. In this podcast, you will learn about the power of community partnerships in improving health equity to overcome the “political determinants of health” that prevent societal progress. You will also learn about the paramount importance of workforce development and scalable educational solutions in catalyzing a transformation in care delivery and culture change that values the moral imperative of value-based care. The empowerment and education of our workforce holds the key to eliminating workforce burnout and moral injury! And lastly, you will gain perspective on love-driven leadership that can overcome toxic tribalism and hyper-polarization in our society.
Geoffrey is a proponent of love-driven leadership and advocacy for our most vulnerable in society, and his leadership in health equity has been recognized at a national level. If you need inspiration to overcome the inertia in your health system towards real and impactful change, don’t miss this very important conversation!
