Confronting Health Care Disparities

September 02, 2021

We’re taking on a subject that is timely, but not new. Guests explain how the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn public attention to disparities in care that have always existed. And they say everyone has a role to play in confronting these inequities.


Often associated with race and socioeconomic status, the impact of health care disparities can be devastating. The disparities affect everything from finances to health care outcomes.


Panelists explore how implicit bias can perpetuate inequities, and share what clinicians can do to help.
