I think that when we talk about the social determinants of health that drive the outcomes that we're seeing- if you were to go upstream of that- why are those social determinants of health different for one population than another? So until we do that, we're not going to understand how therapeutics are going to improve the lives of these other populations, and that gap is actually getting wider.
Ever wondered how deep-rooted inequalities in health care affect people of color? In this thought-provoking episode of Mass General's 'Charged' podcast, host Kelsey Damrad sits down with three influential women leaders—Dr. Gaurdia Banister, Dr. Allison Bryant, and Dr. Marcela del Carmen—to tackle these pressing issues head-on. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a spotlight on the systemic racism and disparities that have long plagued underserved communities, and this episode dives into the heart of these challenges.
The conversation is rich with personal anecdotes and professional insights as the guests share their experiences in promoting diversity within the workforce and providing culturally competent care. They emphasize the importance of allyship and leadership in driving change and highlight the social determinants of health that contribute to unequal outcomes. What makes this episode stand out is its blend of heartfelt stories and actionable strategies.
You'll hear about real-life efforts to advance diversity and support marginalized communities, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the stark realities. Whether you're involved in healthcare or simply care about social justice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and combat health care inequality.
