Insights on Providing Healthcare in One of America’s Most Diverse Cities - Dr. David Lubarsky, Vice Chancellor of Human Health Sciences and CEO for UC Davis Health
Sacramento, California has long been one of America’s most racially diverse cities, so it stands to reason that reducing disparities in healthcare delivery is a focus of Dr. David Lubarsky, the CEO for UC Davis Health in Sacramento. “We've realized that health equity can really only be achieved if you actually have the time and resources to get what's needed to make yourself well or keep yourself well,” he tells host Michael Carrese. With that tight correlation between economics and equity in mind, UC Davis Health leaned into its role as an employer and launched an effort to hire more people from the communities it serves. “We've managed in two years' time to go from having 6% to 20% of our unlicensed workforce from the ten most underserved zip codes in the city.” Lubarsky is also focused on the diversity of learners in the UC Davis School of Medicine, which he also oversees, because it’s been well established that patients from historically marginalized groups have better outcomes when their providers look like them. Tune in to learn about the strategies he’s pursuing to that end, where he sees AI fitting into healthcare delivery and what’s included in the system’s historic $7 billion capital building campaign.
