With more than 80 broadcasts under our belt, our latest spotlights an incredibly important running theme in our show: Health Equity. You’ll hear segments from past episodes of Inside Health Care and three cutting-edge thought leaders, each dedicated to resolving Equity gaps for all.

In our fight to bridge the Health Equity gaps in the U.S. once and for all, NCQA launched the H.E.A.: the Health Equity Accreditation programs. Our first segment features a discussion with leaders from two health systems who agreed to pilot these programs starting in 2022: Dr. Nneka Sederstrom, Chief Health Equity Officer from Hennepin Health in Minneapolis, and from the multi-state Novant Health System, Senior Vice President & Chief Health Equity Officer, Dr. Chere Gregory.

Next up, we discuss gender equity with Dr. Kellan Baker, Executive Director of D.C.’s Whitman-Walker Institute. Dr. Baker’s career includes a focus on non-discrimination laws that help ensure that the benefits of the Affordable Care Act reach LGBTQ+ communities. Dr. Baker also served on the committee that recently established guidelines for appropriate gender labeling for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Finally, a segment on Birth Equity from 2019. This discussion marked the start of our own journey into Health Equity on Inside Health Care.

We meet Dr. Joia Crear-Perry, Founder and President of the National Birth Equity Collaborative. A physician, policy guru, trainer and speaker, Dr. Crear-Perry champions health equity with a focus on maternal and child health.
