Striving for anti-racism in health care: Putting ideas into action

What does it mean to be an anti-racist health care organization? How can health systems move beyond buzzwords and check boxes to take real action toward achieving health equity? In this episode, host Dr. Melissa Clarke and guest DeAnna Minus-Vincent, executive vice president, chief social justice and accountability officer at RWJBarnabas Health System, explore how small change can drive systemic change and ultimately lead to more equitable care for all.

I think the more we can consider how we treat people with dignity and respect, both our patients and our employees, we'll all be better off for it, and it has to be a continual part of the conversation and it has to be continual training and it has to be having conversations that may make us squirm, and that's okay.
