A fireside chat with Dr. Aletha Maybank, pioneering physician-advocate and former Chief Health Equity Officer at the American Medical Association

In an era of deepfakes and health misinformation, how do we build patient trust and foster meaningful behavioral change? Dr. Maybank discusses how art, culture, and innovative community-based engagement strategies can transform healthcare delivery where traditional approaches fall short. Drawing from her groundbreaking equity work and current focus on narrative arts in health, Dr. Maybank offers hospital leaders a bold vision: healthcare that meets patients where they are—culturally, emotionally, and digitally—creating connections that transcend clinical settings and technological barriers. This session reveals how integrating artistic approaches with technological innovation creates healthcare delivery models that don't just inform—they inspire, engage, and heal. Participants will gain actionable strategies for creating healthcare experiences that are not only more equitable and accessible but also more compelling and effective in capturing attention in our distracted digital world.
