Dr. Alicia Fernandez, Focusing On Healthcare Equity

Director of the Latinx Center Of Excellence and Associate Dean of Population Health and Health Equity, Dr. Alicia Fernandez coauthored an important perspective piece in The New England Journal of Medicine. Keep Your Eyes on the Prize — Focusing on Health Care Equity discusses reorganizing existing resources within healthcare systems on a national level to advance healthcare equity.

As a wonderful accompaniment to the essay, the journal also offers a brief conversation with Alicia on the need to focus on equity in patient experience and clinical outcomes in the health care sector. You can hear that interview here, and as a sidebar in the link above.
