Wednesday, October 11, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs

Dear John,

You may have noticed an addition to our podcast family recently.

Don't sleep on the first season of our new health equity podcast
series, Research and Justice For All
,
sponsored by CVS Health .

The series has provided perspectives on how to dismantle unjust systems
and structures that have long impacted health outcomes in historically
marginalized populations.

The first season is wrapping up today with an interview with Rashad
Burgess of Gilead Sciences on how private-sector companies can advance
health equity goals

and how Gilead is specifically addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Black
and Brown communities throughout Southern states in the US.

If you haven't listened yet, here's a good chance to get caught up
on the first season, "Private Sector Solutions for Health Equity."

Hosted by CVS Health's Sree Chaguturu and Joneigh Khaldun, the
inaugural season explored how to challenge injustices in health care
through research, evidence, community-building, and other innovative
solutions.

In the premiere episode, Thomas Sequist from Massachusetts General
Brigham considered the important role of health and hospital systems in
driving health equity

in the US.

Bryan O. Buckley of the National Committee on Quality Assurance argued
that collaboration with communities

as they considered health equity accreditation is a key component for
how to improve health equity.

With looming concerns surrounding disparities with maternal health
outcomes
,
Mary-Ann Etiebt of Merck provided insight into how her participation
with the Merck for Mothers initiative has played a pivotal role to
address and understand this variance.

Nicole Christian-Brathwaite of Headway and Well Minds Psychiatry &
Consulting explored mental health care disparities, examining the
impacts these inconsistencies have had on historically marginalized
communities and what strategic approaches

can be conducted to improve mental health outcomes.

In an attempt to drive positive, equitable health outcomes, Karen
DeSalvo of Google sought opportunities to leverage data and partnerships

as equitable drivers and explored the strategies from public and private
sectors when promoting health equity.

And finally, today's episode

caps the first season off with an interview with Rashad Burgess of
Gilead Sciences.

We are grateful to CVS Health for
supporting the inaugural season.
