A diverse healthcare and health research workforce is better positioned to be responsive to the cultural values, beliefs, and practices of the communities served, and provide equitable, respectful, and linguistically appropriate care. Advancing health equity helps to reduce preventable differences in patient health outcomes and ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
The IHPI Workforce Diversity & Health Equity team focuses on ways to increase innovation and research through diverse leadership and create health equity-driven health and healthcare policies.
