Black History Month
Black history has always shaped healthcare — through caregivers, clinicians, leaders, and advocates who have pushed the system forward, often while navigating inequity within it.
As an industry, we must recognize that diversity and inclusion are not just values — they are essential to delivering better, more human-centered care. A workforce that reflects the communities it serves builds trust, improves outcomes, and strengthens the system as a whole.
This month is a moment to honor the contributions of Black professionals across healthcare, acknowledge the barriers that still exist, and reaffirm the importance of creating environments where every individual is respected, supported, and able to thrive.
Progress in care depends on who is at the table — and how intentionally we build that table.
