DEI
Research has shown that diverse leadership teams are more productive, effective and make a positive impact on organizations’ bottom lines. Then why do we still see a dearth of diversity at the highest levels of leadership in hospitals and health systems? It’s not for a lack of diversity in healthcare more broadly, as the front-line healthcare workforce rivals the most diverse of professions. What is keeping diverse staff from advancing to diverse leaders? Join this inspiring and thought-provoking address from Dr. Roxie Wells, chief physician executive and strategy officer at Novant Health, as she makes the case for deliberately investing in the growth and development of diverse healthcare professionals and shares strategies for how organizations can prioritize diversity in executive leadership for their own success as well as the greater good.
