About the Discussion
Inequities in access to care, services received, and outcomes have a long history prior to the current pandemic. However, the pandemic revealed stark healthcare differences by race, ethnicity, and socio-economic class. While there are attempts to eliminate these through national legislation, political divisions make the ultimate outcome uncertain.
The energy of the private sector, particularly of entrepreneurs, demonstrates how specific disparities can harness the potential of technology, addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion even prior to legislative action.
Our speakers have the vision, energy, and courage to found businesses that can fill gaps and connect patients with culturally appropriate services and care.
Each panelist will give a 20-minute presentation consisting of the need their company addresses, their vision for what can be accomplished, and lessons learned so far, followed by an audience question-and-answer session.
