What’s Your Job Description When You’re a ‘Health Equity Leader’? (25 mins)
People inside and outside of healthcare systems are working to understand and concretely define responsibilities of health equity leaders in a range of healthcare organizations.
In this discussion, we’re diving into what it means to be a successful health equity leader. Anton speaks with Amy Delaney (Carle Health), Christina Harris (Cedars Sinai Medical Center), and Rochanda Hiligh-Thomas (Advocates for Justice and Education). They highlight the power of community decisionmaking in defining the role. They also discuss how helping others understand structural sources of inequity is critical for improving care. They also share their own professional development goals and identify their go-to resources.
