A number of health disparities were brought to light during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led many companies to shift focus when it came to health equity.
During a panel titled “Health Disparities in the U.S.: Lessons from COVID & the Path Forward” at the Center for Healthcare and Innovation’s Diversity, Inclusion, & Health Equity Symposium – East Coast event, panelists shared health disparities they saw emerge as a result of the pandemic and what their organizations have done toward preventing these issues.
Richard Chapman, Chief Science Officer at the Innovation and Value Initiative, said the pandemic made his organization realize they couldn’t just look at the average, individual patient.
