Dr. Ronald Copeland, senior vice president of national diversity and inclusion strategy and policy; chief diversity and inclusion officer at Kaiser Permanente (DiversityInc Hall of Fame), spoke with Carolynn Johnson, CEO of DiversityInc during the Top 50 event on May 5, 2020 about how the healthcare company is prioritizing equity and inclusion during COVID-19.
The lethality of COVID-19, combined with its global impact and the lack of a treatment has devastated hundreds of countries. The U.S. is particularly hard-hit, but as an integrated healthcare system, Kaiser has worked to provide the highest quality care during this time.
“Our approach has three major areas of focus: what we are doing with our patients, what we are doing with the communities we exist in and, most importantly, what we are doing with our workforce,” Dr. Copeland said.
