Culture & Race in Healthcare: It’s Time to Re-Imagine & Re-Engage in Health Equity

Systemic racism is a public health crisis.

There has been a call from our patients, co-workers, neighbors and friends for awareness and action. As health care providers we’ll answer that call in our hospitals, clinics and colleges. We’ll venture into the world’s biggest hurdle - coming to grips with inequities in health and care.

Beth Lincoln, MSN, NP, RN, CTN-A, is a Certified Transcultural Nurse – Advanced, a Women & Family Nurse Practitioner and leading expert into culture and race. She is eager to share from her vast experiences and knowledge. She will inspire your own cultural competence through the delivery of sensitive and effective health care.

Through this intense training, you will discover creative strategies to gain awareness, competence and confidence to address the needs of our most vulnerable populations. Self-reflect to discover your own history, culture, beliefs/values, assumptions and biases. As open and honest conversations take place, we can demonstrate greater compassion for one another that ultimately contribute to a broader transformation within our healthcare systems.

By embracing cultural and racial awareness, common ground will be established. Inclusive and equitable environments will then give way. Ms. Lincoln encourages each of us to celebrate every individual, as a unique opportunity to share the colorful history we all represent. A rich fabric unfolds as we weave our diverse strands together. Only together can we seek to deliver equitable healthcare – to all.
