2021 Transform Institutional Racism in the Healthcare Setting

Racism is a systemic healthcare problem that is preventable and changeable. Harm is still coming to patients and employees due to racism, including significant disparities in health outcomes. Current diversity and inclusion efforts, though well-intended, are not driving sufficient change. Because racism is a systemic problem, achieving transformative change requires an organizational and system-level approach.

Attend Transform Institutional Racism in the Healthcare Setting, May 4 and 5, 2021, and learn how to guide your facility to become an equity responsive organization.
