Healthcare is not one-size-fits-all, and understanding the interconnected web of identities is crucial for providing equitable and inclusive healthcare. This OutTalk webinar will explore the concept of intersectionality — the interconnectedness of various social categories such as race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and more — and how it can impact healthcare delivery, outcomes, and patient experiences. We will emphasize the need for more inclusive and compassionate approaches in healthcare, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by individuals from different walks of life.

Research consistently shows that racial and ethnic minority groups experience higher rates of illness and death across a wide range of health conditions. Despite existing federal laws, individuals with disabilities encounter persistent barriers when seeking healthcare. Discrimination and stigma also pose significant challenges for members of LGBTQ+ communities when accessing care. The list goes on and on. When we start intersecting these identities, the health disparities are exacerbated.

Whether you’re in healthcare or interested in the evolving landscape of healthcare, let’s come together with community leaders to discuss how intersectionality, cultural humility, and access to care impact us and how we can implement changes.
