Strengthening healthcare workforce and health equity

Mar 24, 2024

Health Justice’s founder and Executive Director, Dr. Oni Blackstock, spoke at Democracy Forward’s “Together for Democracy” in late February about legal efforts as well as efforts with organized medicine to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative within healthcare. Dr. Blackstock discussed the potentially devastating consequences of these efforts for healthcare workforce and health equity and called on health care institutions and professional health organizations to deepen their commitment to and investment in embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion within their institutional and organizational policies, practices, and culture.
