Healthcare is not one-size-fits-all, and understanding the interconnected web of identities is crucial for providing equitable and inclusive healthcare. This OutTalk webinar will explore the concept of intersectionality – the interconnectedness of various social categories such as race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and more – and how it can impact healthcare delivery, outcomes, and patient experiences. We will emphasize the need for more inclusive and compassionate approaches in healthcare, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by individuals from different walks of life.
Whether you’re in healthcare or interested in the evolving landscape of healthcare, hear community leaders discuss how intersectionality, cultural humility, and access to care impact us and how we can implement changes.
