Culture and Medicine: Reflections on Identity and Community in an Age of Pluralism This narrative account of a physician-patient relationship explores the meanings and relevance of race, ethnicity, and cultural diversity in the practice of medicine and in our general society. Innovation in Our Nation’s Public Hospitals: Interview with Five CEOs and Medical Directors Prominent leaders talk about: developing an integrated system with community clinics and neighborhoods; and, for an ever larger, diverse, and immigrant population, a new simultaneous translation system; and training future doctors by involving them in the hospital’s quality improvement committees and clinical projects. Beyond Equal Care: How Health Systems Can Impact Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities Factors outside traditional health care delivery--community-based social determinants of health such as environment, pollution, job opportunities, education, income, and support for healthy lifestyles--play equally important roles in disparities improvement by health systems. |
