We are kicking off Season 2 of Mosaic! Becky Knight, Business Resource Group (BRG) coordinator, talks with members of the Novant Health Pride BRG about what coming out means and why it is still relevant, even thought it has been more than 30 years since the first Coming Out Day.

Here at Novant Health, we're focusing on an important aspect of care through an area of work known as health equity – that is, ensuring that everyone receives the type of care they need.

By focusing on health equity, our long-term goal is to raise up everyone's health status. When we analyzed the breast screening mammography data using a standard health equity lens, we noticed an opportunity with two of our fastest growing patient populations – our Asian and Latina patients. We established a goal, simply stated, to increase the percentage of breast cancer screening mammograms among women of all ethnicities who get mammograms.
