A recent report by the Commonwealth Fund unveils concerning racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare access, quality, and outcomes across the US. The data reveals significant variations in health outcomes, with Black and AIAN communities facing higher mortality rates. Notably, these disparities persist even in states with high overall healthcare performance. The report calls for a multi-pronged approach including: * Expanding health insurance coverage * Strengthening primary care * Reducing administrative burdens on patients and providers * Investing in social services like housing and childcare Here's where we can make a difference. Platforms like Activate Care's Path Assist proactively help address these gaps through Community Health Worker (CHW) facilitated interventions focused on stabilization efforts and self-efficacy coaching. By empowering individuals to navigate the healthcare system and manage their health, we can work towards a more equitable healthcare landscape. Let's discuss how we can work together to bridge this healthcare equity gap. #healthcare #healthequity #racialdisparities #publichealth
