Navigating the challenges of addressing disparities and injustices in healthcare can feel overwhelming, but it's essential to remember that change begins with a desire to make a difference. In this episode, Christie and  Dr. Gillispie-Bell discuss how acknowledging the need for change and understanding the difficulty of the journey are the starting points for positive transformation. With a focus on practical steps, they address how healthcare providers can engage with systems and structures already in place to promote equity. From engaging with quality departments and hospital teams to fostering a culture of transparency, they outline actionable strategies for both providers and institutions to create a future where safe and equitable births are the norm.
