This paper identifies what bias looks like in healthcare settings and acknowledges its serious and lasting consequences on patient outcomes and overall experience.

Patients and families share their lived experiences of being exposed to bias and how it has impacted their overall approach to healthcare and what needs to change in the future. The paper offers tangible ways in which organizations, leaders and the community-at-large, can create a path to health equity through intentional action to address bias.
