Building an anti-racist health system requires more than treating everyone the same. It includes identifying and addressing how differences in access, treatment, and life experiences affect health and require tailored care and treatment.
Accountability, inclusive leadership, and community power building help improve health practices, care, and outcomes. Collectively, it leads to systems change, the kind of change needed for sustained improvements.
Leaders working at the intersection of policy, health, and community discussed how policies and systems can—and must—change to create anti-racist solutions to improve care.
Panelists explored:
- The foundational components of building an anti-racist healthcare system
- The power of partnership to improve trust and outcomes
- Addressing structural racism in policy and practice
Convened by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The Intersection brings together people who work inside and outside of healthcare to build anti-racist health systems. It’s a place where community and justice advocates, healthcare providers, and public health experts can share their experiences, provide feedback on how to tackle challenges, and talk about what’s working.
