To provide the best possible care for all patients and help minimize racial disparities, medical professionals need to acknowledge and recognize differences among varying populations. Diversity among physicians—pertaining to socioeconomic status, race, gender identity, and so on—is key. PowerToFly's Lesley Carstens is joined by Dr. Margaret Larkins-Pettigrew, the first Senior Vice President/Chief Clinical Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer (CCDEIO) of Allegheny Health Network / Highmark, including their Enterprise Institute of Equitable Health in Pittsburgh, Pa, to discuss diversity in healthcare...and why it's more important now than ever.
