Ep. 30: Putting equity, inclusion, and diversity at the center of care delivery with Drs. Nkem Chukwumerije and Ron Copeland

A pandemic, social unrest, natural disasters, and rapid innovation are among the factors that have led health care to reevaluate what it means to provide equitable care. In this last episode of the 2023 season, Nkem Chukwumerije, MD, president and executive medical director of The Southeast Permanente Medical Group , and Ron Copeland, MD, senior vice president of National Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and Policy  for Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals, join host Chris Grant to discuss Kaiser Permanente’s latest equity, inclusion, and diversity efforts; examine how the medical community can better serve the underserved in health care; and reflect on their personal journeys in equity, inclusion, and diversity.
