Webinars

This second webinar in our Health Equity Series shares experiences from two health equity champions: Arthur R. James, MD, an obstetrician, gynecologist and pediatrician who has sought to improve care for underserved populations for the entirety of his medical career; and Denise Evans, MM, MA, a certified facilitator on cultural intelligence and unconscious bias.

Together, they provide insights on:

• Successful programs that have addressed health equity
• Lessons learned about what led to those programs’ successes
• Strategies that programs and organizations can use to champion health equity in their work

The first in a series of webinars to support individuals who are pursuing equity within the health system. If you have ever felt overwhelmed on where to begin with tackling such a complex subject, we invite you to watch our first webinar and join us in what will be an ongoing conversation.

Specifically, this webinar provides: 

• An overview of health equity and implicit bias, and their impact on children's health
• A modeling exercise to explore how to recognize and address individual implicit bias
• Resources and guidance to help attendees continue this journey after the webinar
