When we discuss diversity and inclusion, we often don’t touch on health equity. How do diverse people navigate spaces to access and receive equitable health care? Diversity decisions in health care can affect your employee’s well-being in the workplace. Everyone shows up as whole people – how can you help your employees navigate their health care in the workplace? 

In today’s episode, Margaret Spence is joined by special guest Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell. We will discuss why we must take charge of our own health care. What does healthcare advocacy look like for women and men? What are the common misconceptions that we have to overcome...How do we build trust in health care as diverse people?
