In celebration of Pride Month, this episode of “A Framework for Advancing Health Equity” delves into inclusive, patient-centered care for people from gender diverse communities.
Despite great advances in medical care, transgender people have faced a different reality as just a decade ago their identity was classified as “disabled.”1 in American Journal of Managed Care® In the article, Dr. Mandy Pratt Chapman, a clinical researcher at GW Cancer Center, explained that creating an inclusive environment with non-discrimination policies, fostering leadership and clinical diversity, and amplifying voices advocating for evidence-based medical practice to shape legislation are important steps to addressing these disparities.
In this episode, Charlie Borowitz, Transgender and Gender Diversity Health Program Manager at Allegheny Health Network, talks about how their Inclusive Health Centers program works to provide quality health care to populations that are often underserved in the U.S. health care system.
In this Managed Care Cast series, A Framework for Advancing Health Equity from the Center for Health Equity and Access, we spotlight innovative programs being implemented in health care to mitigate widespread inequities. The goal is to share resources and strategies with those looking to begin their own efforts to close the health care gap.
