The Hastings Center, a research institute focused on bioethics, has organized a two-day summit for January on health equity.
“Day 1 will focus on historical events and decisions that have led to major inequities in health today. It will be designed for the public, and health professionals, researchers, and policymakers,” according to the Hastings Center website.
“Day 2 will offer insights and examples of promising strategies that health care leaders and practicing clinicians can employ to address inequities through policy, clinical care, medical education, research, and community collaborations.”
Panelists include Pulitzer Prize-winner Isabel Wilkerson, the author of the best-selling book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents; David R. Williams, an internationally recognized scientist and the presenter of the TED Talk, “How Racism Makes Us Sick;” and Daniel Dawes, a key figure in shaping the Mental Health Parity Act and the Affordable Care Act.
