Creating a Health-Equitable Organization at Navicent Health

Hospitals and health systems are working hard to ensure that every person in every community receives high-quality, equitable and safe care. To accelerate progress on these efforts, the #123forEquity Pleadge to Act Campaign was launched by the AHA in 2015. Hospital and health system leaders are asked to take action to accelerate progress in the following areas:

Increasing the collection and use of race, ethnicity, language preference and other socio-demographic data
Increasing cultural competency training
Increasing diversity in leadership and governance

HPOE and the Institute for Diversity in Health Management, are collaborating to feature Navicent Health, one of this year's Equity of Care Award honorees. Navicent Health has taken action to accelerate progress in all areas of the pledge and the CEO will discuss the hospital's journey.
