Reigniting #TheHumanConnection

In an increasingly depersonalized healthcare environment, Jennifer Mieres, Elizabeth McCulloch of Northwell Health, and Michael Wright are working to reignite the human connection.

Shared vision – shared mission – shared leadership: Drs. Mieres, McCulloch, and Wright share the same collective mission, values, and dedication to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion to achieve equity in healthcare. Drawing on our own personal backgrounds and our professional and academic expertise, we offer a holistic framework for addressing how we harness the value of diversity as integral to improving health outcomes in a global approach. We have begun to pave a pathway forward to an expanded approach to healthcare delivery to include our patients as partners, crafting a truly personalized approach to medical care. Systematic inequities don’t grab headlines the way more overt prejudicial actions do. They tend to take the form of unconscious bias or historic employment practices that create an unleveled playing field or a one-size-fits-all approach to patients in medical settings. The only way to battle systemic problems is through formalized approaches.

In this book – we will share the approaches we have taken and the lessons we have learned in order to provide you with the tools needed to implement practical solutions within your own organization. Developed from the data, experience, and research that emerged from ten years of intentional creation of such an approach, Reigniting the Human Connection: A Pathway to Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity offers readers an adaptable framework on which to build their own response.
