Listen "Ep 149 – The Moral and Business Imperative for Health Equity, with Dr. Jay Bhatt"
Episode Synopsis
The message from state and federal regulators, healthcare leaders, and our society-at-large is being heard loud and clear: Health equity is a moral imperative.
A cultural zeitgeist for health equity has been awakened in the collective consciousness of all ethnicities in the context of COVID-19 health disparities and the ongoing fight for civil rights and social justice. The economic imperative for equity is also too big to ignore, given that inequities in the US health system cost approximately $320 billion today and could eclipse $1 trillion in annual spending by 2040 if left unaddressed. The future of equitable health is important to the future of our country, and we must address this moral imperative with business solutions.

He is a prominent thought leader around the issues of health equity, health care transformation, public health, and innovation.
