Structural racism has attracted increasing interest as an explanation for racial disparities in health. But structural racism has often been measured using single-indicator proxies such as housing discrimination. This approach leaves important aspects of structural racism unaccounted for. We kick off season 3 with social epidemiologist and associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Dr. Lori Dean. Dean is leading the way in exploring new definitions and methods to measure structural racism. Dean discusses her groundbreaking research delving into the influence of individual- and neighborhood-level social and economic factors on health disparities and outcomes for those managing chronic illnesses.

Last year StartUp Health launched a Health Equity Moonshot with the goal of creating a guiding equity framework for how we support health startups. That work has been led by our Chief Impact Officer Kaakpema "KP" Yelpaala. One of the first things KP did was to build a cross-disciplinary impact board who could help us guide our policies, and one of the first people he turned to for that task was today’s guest, Aletha Maybank, MD, MPH. Dr. Maybank is the Chief Health Equity Officer & Senior VP at the American Medical Association. In the world of health equity, that’s a big deal because she guides critical policy decisions for an organization that numbers more than a quarter of a million healthcare professionals. We wanted to have Dr. Maybank in for a Fireside Chat to get a candid look at the work she’s been doing at the AMA and hear her vision for the future. In the conversation, which was hosted by KP Yelpaala and held in front of a virtual audience of Health Transformers from our portfolio, Dr. Maybank draws a line between intention and outcomes and explains why more institutions need to do the hard internal work of examining inequitable structures.

The healthcare disparity gap is a complex problem that affects individuals of different races, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The gap is a result of unequal access to healthcare and preventative services, and it can have a significant impact on a person’s overall health and well-being.

To wrap up our interview series for Black History Month, we are re-releasing a very special episode from our archives with Ashley Sayles. Ashley is a pediatric nurse practitioner living and working in Baltimore who has been very open about her brushes with racism and her experience being the only black nurse on her unit. She joined Dr. Nurse Dan late last year to talk about how pivotal conversations around race have spilled over into healthcare, forcing those of us who work in this industry to reckon with how we care for patients and how we treat our coworkers of color.  In this interview, Ashley shares invaluable insights and advice to nurse leaders on how to create more equitable and inclusive workplaces and guidance to nurses who want to be allies for the nurses of color on their units. Ashley also shares why 2020 has been a turning point for her and other black nurses and the changes she’s witnessed as a result of the growing Black Lives Matter movement.

Join us as we welcome Katrina Gipson, an emergency medicine physician, to discuss the intersection of student loan debt and health equity. As the Supreme Court reviews the Biden Administration’s Student Loan Forgiveness Program, Katrina sheds light on the disproportionate impact of student loan debt on underrepresented minorities in medicine. The episode explores how high levels of debt can limit career choices for medical students and worsen health care outcomes for minority communities. We delve into the ways in which systemic racism and lack of access to resources contribute to the student loan debt crisis and how loan forgiveness can serve as a tool for health equity. Katrina Gipson is an emergency medicine physician. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Student loan forgiveness: a key step in achieving health equity for minority physicians and patients."

"Building individual health equity starts with a commitment to price transparency. The current system favors a broader, value-based model that does not require individual fees for services. Resources are allocated based on outcomes and are dependent on complex and expensive data acquisition. In a direct pay model, the physician is accountable only to the patient. It requires shared decision-making and informed consent from the patient, not permission from an insurer."

Joy sits down with Kat McDavitt, Jaime Bland, and Mandira Singh, who discuss a maternal health program in North Omaha. The program is a collaboration between Cync Health RI, Innsena, and PointClickCare, aimed at improving maternal health outcomes in vulnerable populations across Nebraska. North Omaha was chosen as the first site because it has a predominantly African American population. The program involves using Health Information Exchange technology, and information sharing to connect providers and people for early notification and comprehensive information to impact maternal-child outcomes. The program will start with a few clinics and eventually expand to the whole state of Nebraska. -| The Health Equity Podcast Channel is made possible with support from Bayer G4A.
