Host: Timothy Morgenthaler, MD @DrTimMorg Guest: Dawn Peters, Administrator, Office of Health Equity and Inclusion, Mayo Clinic Medical progress has been at times amazing, but not everyone is receiving the benefits of these advances. Many studies show that healthcare outcomes are more influenced by zip codes than any other factor. The news is full of examples of how access to and processes of care are not equally distributed to all, and that biases—both personal and systemic—play a role in this inequitable and unethical situation. So---we have a lot to do to advance health equity for patients. Where will we start? This podcast discusses the history of Mayo Clinic’s Office of Health Equity and Inclusion, and current strategy and status, as we strive to support our patients in achieving optimal health equity outcomes.
