Diversity and Health Equity

Help Health Equity Take Root in Your Community

Inequities in health outcomes have been well documented. From the report Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care (National Academy of Medicine, 2003) to the Healthy People 2010 Report‘s emphasis on eliminating racial inequities, the healthcare industry has known that change must come. Unfortunately it took the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on minority populations, and 2020’s social unrest highlighting our nation’s complex, ongoing struggle with racial equity, to put a proper focus on health inequities. The healthcare field is responding to health and racial equity with an effort that has not been seen before.

Looking Inside Your Diversity and Health Equity Strategy

Your organization has undoubtedly looked in the mirror and asked itself, how can we become a more equitable organization, both to our workforce and to the patients we serve? If you need guidance in navigating the challenges related to that question, we can help. Do Tank has worked with health systems and trade associations to diagnose health equity at an organizational level and has created roadmaps to help you on the journey. We also work with employees at all levels of the organization to explore blockers, opportunities, and new ideas.

Engaging Your Teams with Diversity and Health Equity Work

We have experience engaging with this work at the strategic level, but conversations on diversity and health equity must occur across the organization. Partnering with Diversity Health Communications, and using a suite of custom tools, we have engaged hundreds of people in small interactive workshops where people can creatively tackle very complex challenges. We are able to collect the data from these workshops to deliver analysis on the current state of the organization and recommendations on potential changes. By creating amazing experiences for people, you can generate the engagement that is necessary to create meaningful insights and enthusiasm for improvement.
