Beyond the Crises of 2020: Caring for Ourselves and Each Other, Health Disparities

Thursday, December 3, 2020, 12:00 AM - Saturday, December 3, 2022, 11:59 PM

Health disparities among various individuals and communities have always been present; however, recent events and the severe impact of COVID-19 on specific communities highlights a critical need to address these issues within our system and community. Only by beginning to understand the physical and emotional impact of health disparities on patients can we move towards a place of reducing these disparities and create health equity.

This lecture series is available to Beaumont Health/OUWB providers ONLY.

3. Explain how engaged providers can support other aspects of a patient’s lifestyle or culture that affect health outcomes
