Equity, Inclusion, Diversity, and Anti-Racism are important fundermental human and civic rights that need to be incorporated into the very core of health systems operations. It’s refreshing that Canadian health systems and many health systems around the world are intentional about promoting Equity, Inclusion, Diversity, and Anti-Racism. We cannot reduce health inequalities without intentional actions that disrupt the systems that create health inequalities.

Darryl Lockett column: The pivotal role of African Americans in medical advancements Access to quality healthcare is vital to the wellbeing of every American. Indiana is no different. As we celebrate Black History month, it is important to reflect on the rich history of African Americans in Indiana’s medical progress and how far we have come. As Health Equity Director at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, I recognize that the health inequities we face are not fated or destined, but rather challenges that we can overcome and change. At the same time, I know we stand on the shoulders of giants who have shaped Indiana’s healthcare system for the better. https://ow.ly/HsrU30sAAY4

Featured Event: The Soul of Civility with Alexandra Hudson There’s certainly no shortage of people to blame long-distance for the tragically divisive state of our civic life in America. But if the project of human community ultimately begins where we act with respect and decency toward our fellow man, it’s possible that more of the power and responsibility for our societal fractures may be located right where we live our lives. Yet it’s easy to confuse plain old niceness with the deepest underpinnings of respect necessary to shepherd us through our divided timesFeatured Event: The Soul of Civility with Alexandra Hudson There’s certainly no shortage of people to blame long-distance for the tragically divisive state of our civic life in America.

Deep Dive returns! In this episode we bring back a number of contributors to our recently concluded limited series - After America - and ask if they have hope for American democracy, or if we already past the Rubicon. Can American democracy survive the storm of voter disenfranchisement, misinformation, and rising authoritarianism? This episode promises not just a look at the challenges, but also a glimmer of hope for our democratic future. We explore the perennial struggle to uphold the ideals of equality and the essential role of our political institutions. And, you'll hear insights into how the Republican Party's transformation and Donald Trump's influence pose unique threats to American democracy. Yet, amid these daunting challenges, we find reasons for cautious optimism in the resilience of U.S. institutions and the enduring power of foundational principles like equality and justice. What would another Trump presidency mean for the United States? Through poignant personal stories and global perspectives, we highlight the immediate and structural dangers we face. This episode isn't just a wake-up call; it’s a challenge to protect the future of American democracy.
