Healthcare Justice Perspectives
In partnership with Becker's Hospital Review, Vituity is hosting a live webinar on February 2nd, on the societal impacts of healthcare injustice and ways that hospital leadership and community allies can lead the movement toward healthcare equality.
The opportunity has never been more significant to address the systemic impacts of healthcare injustice, particularly to minority and underserved communities.
Join this discussion as healthcare executives share insights on what steps healthcare leaders can take to foster a culture of inclusivity and highlight examples of how different healthcare organizations are taking a grassroots approach to this noble cause.
Healthcare Justice Starts With Us
As healthcare leaders and clinicians, we must “walk the walk” to promote inclusiveness and recognition of inequality. The noticeable influence of racism permeates heavily throughout our society, with healthcare injustice being one of the most pervasive and dangerous determinants.
At Vituity we are committed to creating a more equitable healthcare system for all. We are joining crucial conversations on healthcare inequities, enforcing culturally competent care standards in our organization and actively creating pathways for future generations of diverse leaders.
