Achieving Gender and Race Equity in Healthcare

Both difficult and vital is the path toward gender and racial equality in healthcare. Co-founder of Equity Quotient Dr. Jane van Dis has devoted her professional life to reducing these inequalities and advancing a more welcoming medical setting.

The necessity of cultural changes inside healthcare institutions is a major obstacle to gender and racial justice. Dr. van Dis promotes creating a setting that honors variety and gives voice to everyone. Her emphasis is on the need for inclusive laws and procedures, which guarantee that medical professionals are aware of and able to meet the particular requirements of patients from various backgrounds. Dr. van Dis thinks healthcare can become a more inclusive and just profession by encouraging equity at all levels, from patient care to leadership.
