Health equity leaders in hospitals and health systems work across departments to propel equity and anti-racist efforts. The role of a health equity leader is multi-layered, requiring a deep understanding of internal initiatives and workflows, community dynamics and needs, and systemic inequities affecting staff, outcomes, and entire communities. But the position looks very different across organizations, with no standard approach. How can healthcare organizations set up their equity leaders to thrive?
Leaders in advocacy and healthcare drew on personal experiences to discuss…
- Roles of a healthcare equity leader
- Designing an effective equity leader position
- Skills needed for success
- The role of community engagement to shape job priorities
- Defining short- and long-term success
