Originally Hosted on Friday, February 25: 2-3 p.m. ET

One step to achieving health equity is to ensure that healthcare delivery and programs are informed by the perspectives of a diverse workforce – especially members of our communities who are most impacted by health disparities. Yet, many people of color continue to be challenged by the institutional racism that is deeply imbedded in work culture and norms. This can leave healthcare workers feeling emotionally exhausted, tokenized, and excluded from decision-making.

In this webinar, participants will see preliminary results from a survey led by Pfizer assessing the impact of racism on healthcare workers and the patients they serve. Additionally, panelists will discuss strategies to establish more equitable and inclusionary workplaces and how this benefits everyone.
