A Conversation with Marsha Sinanan-Vasishta, Deputy Chief Nursing Officer, Mount Sinai Morningside
Adapted from our recent community briefing and conversation addressing health disparities in a time of crisis and beyond. Marsha Sinanan-Vasishta sheds light on how the COVID-19 crisis has amplified systemic racism and specifically the difficult realities of disparities in healthcare. Listen for a conversation on how we can improve going forward and the action steps that are necessary for everyone to have equal access in healthcare, regardless of race.
Marsha emphasizes how it is time for healthcare system leadership to come together and create change through legislation, updated policies, and diversity amongst teams. She eloquently states, “If we can’t relate to our patients’ experiences, we can’t build the trust needed to provide them the best care.” A succinct and honest summary of the challenge that exists at the heart of systemic racism in healthcare.
