Inclusive Insights in Partnership with Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB). April is annually recognized as National Minority Health Month. The recognition builds awareness of health disparities and encourages preventive action. In April 2023, Wellstar hosted a 3-part speaker series to amplify the voices of our internal subject matter experts. Members of Wellstar Community Health and Center for Health Equity and the Underrepresented Minority Physicians Business Resource Group (BRG) identified qualified and engaging speakers to share information
related to the historical inequities and disparities in healthcare. The series aimed to increase awareness of the root causes of health disparities among traditionally medically underserved communities, and promote best practices for reducing disparities and achieving equity. The series was attended by more than 800 team members; 98% of surveyed team members were likely to recommend the series to others.
Three virtual Lunch & Learn events were attended by more than 800 individuals.
