Karmanos Health Equity Book Club Meeting - December 15, 2022

 


Book Focus: "Why Are Health Disparities Everyone's Problem?" By Lisa Cooper, M.D., MPH.

The Health Equity Book Club's mission is to build awareness across the community and amongst health care professionals of issues related to and stemming from systematic racism in the health care system and society in the United States. By revealing the contributing factors and results of racism, Karmanos Cancer Institute, in partnership with McLaren Health Care and Wayne State University School of Medicine, seeks to highlight an important goal: to expose and better understand the impact of racism on the practice of medicine. We believe that open dialogue within our community of colleagues, patients and families will help to facilitate the goal of equal access and provision of culturally competent, quality care to all patients and their families regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation.
