We love to see the burgeoning recognition of arts and culture as essential to our well-being, a concept brilliantly explored by Christina Caron in last week's The New York Times article on "social prescriptions" (see link in the comments). The article presents compelling U.S.-based initiatives where cultural engagements are being prescribed and explored to improve holistic health outcomes: 1️⃣ Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey is participating in a study examining whether an arts prescription program will improve patients’ quality of life and reduce health disparities. Further down the road, the company will find out whether the prescriptions can also save money by lessening patients’ reliance on the E.R. for ordinary health care needs. 2️⃣ In January, Stanford University and Rutgers University began prescribing arts and cultural activities to students as an expansion of the schools’ mental health services. 3️⃣ Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s community development teams bringing together experts over the course of the next year to discuss how social prescriptions can help improve well-being. We've always believed in the transformative impact of culture, and it's exciting to see these ideas gaining mainstream traction. We are committed to fostering this movement and will continue to explore these themes in our upcoming blog series. Stay tuned as well for some exciting announcements regarding new products and features designed to enhance your cultural experiences. Join us in redefining wellness and embracing the arts as a path to a healthier life. 🌎🎨🎭 #EmployeeWellness #EmployeeEngagement #SocialPrescription #ArtsInHealth #CulturalWellness #MentalHealth #WellnessThroughCulture

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the United States. We also acknowledge that progress has not yet yielded parity Health care equity remains an issue across America due to many factors. Race is one of them. About 3.3 million more Black Americans would be alive if there was parity in life expectancy. How long would it take for Black Americans across the nation to achieve racial parity with their White neighbors across in terms of overall quality of life ? Based on the rate of change between 2012 and 2021 it could take more than three centuries. Find out more about this research from The McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility. The first article discusses overall quality of life, the second focuses on healthcare.

"Dementia itself, doesn't discriminate - but the way that people experience dementia can be discriminatory." One of our recipients for the Personnel Awards for Black Scholars, Ngozi Iroanyah discussed the lack of diversity in health research affecting communities on Breakfast Television. Specifically, Ngozi's research is focused on working to better understand the experiences and perspectives of older Black adults living with dementia and their caregivers. "We need to think about what these communities are facing, what their unique racial, and cultural needs are, and how we can begin preparing for it." Learn more about what Ngozi had to say here: https://lnkd.in/eR6r2rMB. #BlackHistoryMonth

Do you know how HBCUs have made health fairer? This blog post shows you how HBCUs are schools that have helped black people and others have better health, and how they have worked with CDC to make health fair for everyone. https://lnkd.in/e7zqeZqG

As part of my new role as Supplier Diversity Consultant, I had the privilege of attending a panel discussion as part of Leadership Detroit. At the event, there were a plethora of gems shared by some very dynamic, influential, and trailblazing black women in the healthcare industry. They covered many topics related to health equity, the social determinants of health (SDOH), community outreach, reducing health disparities, supplier diversity, etc. Here are a few takeaways from the session: 1) Be Disruptive and Relentless. Never Give Up. 2) When people laugh at your ideas, they must be good ideas. This means the ideas are likely innovative, never thought of, something new, etc. 3) Only 6/10 African-American Males in the State of Michigan will reach the age of 65. 4) One of the primary reasons of unequal treatment of minorities in healthcare is not lack of education/information but simply pure racism/discrimination/bias according to the Institute of Medicine. 5) Supplier Diversity is not an initiative or a program but it is part of an overarching strategic organizational plan. 6) You cannot manage what you cannot measure. 7) 2019 was Detroit's lowest infant mortality rate in 20 years. 8) There is a 140,000 predicted doctor shortage by 2023. 9) Only 6% of doctors are black and 7% hispanic. Meanwhile, African Americans represent 13% of the U.S. population. This number is disproportionate. 10) Only 12% of physicians are 1st generation. Thanks to everyone who dropped gems!

Take a look at any of the posts around Johns Hopkins Medicine and its recent debacle of sacking its Chief Diversity Office for a list of privileged groups and you’ll find people on one of two sides. The first comes from folks who have been in one or more of those underprivileged or minoritized groups decrying the organization’s capitulation and lack of support for the DEI leader. The second for the most part belongs to many of those privileged groups, gaslighting everyone and calling this divisive. Let’s be clear. Recognizing one’s privilege doesn’t make things divisive. It makes those with privilege feel just a sliver of the discomfort that minorities feel EVERY DAY. And in all parts of our lives. Johns Hopkins leadership, do better. #diversity #inclusion #belonging #dibs #equity #dei #deib #diversityandinclusion #inclusionanddiversity #representation #representationmatters

HOPKINS CHIEF DIVERSITY OFFICER STEPS DOWN: “As chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer, she more than doubled the number of groups that address the needs of underrepresented people, such as African American and LGBQT employees, from three to seven. She implemented an annual residency recruitment program, which resulted in a “sustained increase” in the diversity of residence programs. And top leaders at Johns Hopkins have gone as far as to describe her career as “extraordinary.” But Golden stepped down Tuesday, two months after a monthly newsletter she wrote included her definition of “privilege” that caused outrage among conservative groups and high-profile figures including Donald Trump Jr. and Elon Musk.” https://lnkd.in/d7Z_9Nhi
