A healthcare system that fosters a diverse workforce and breaks down the structural barriers to equitable care is key to ensuring health is not a privilege, but a right. RWJF is staying the course on our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by increasing our investments toward a diverse healthcare workforce by 60 percent over the next three years.      Lauren Smith shares the Foundation’s new plans to support leaders and institutions that are confronting the structural barriers to diversity in the health professions. She also reflects on how her time at the Massachusetts Department of Health during the H1N1 pandemic taught her the power of fully committing to equity.     https://rwjf.ws/KucWsI     #HealthEquity #DiversityInHealthcare #StructuralRacism #LeadershipForBetterHealth

Join us on October 21 for a lively conversation between two leaders who are shaping the future of research. Listen in as they share bold ideas for how we can broaden research practices and beliefs to confront structural racism and advance health equity.    Get inspired as they get real about research and take on big questions like:   - What happens when researchers are guided by a community’s needs, instead of their own research agenda?   - What new insights and solutions can researchers unlock when they work side-by-side with young people, neighborhood residents, and others who bring first-hand knowledge and lived experience?

Join us on October 22 to hear from two trailblazing researchers dedicated to putting the public back in public health and ensuring the next generation of researchers reflect the communities they study.    Tune in as they talk to each other 1:1 about their groundbreaking work and how they put communities and health equity at the center. Hear about the solutions they see, and what it will take to make the future of research more equitable and inclusive.
