Health Disparities, Diversity and Inclusion!

Join us today for Women Lead Radio as Cecile Bereal, your host of Serving Up Diversity and Inclusion, interviews Dr. Patti Rose, Director and Founder at Rose Consulting. Dr. Rose is the author of several books, including, Health Disparities, Diversity and Inclusion: Controversies Contexts and Solutions.  

Today we talk to Dr. Rose about her book, Health Disparities, Diversity and Inclusion: Controversies Contexts and Solutions. Despite the many Public Health successes over the last century, health disparity continues to exist in in American society. This book examines diversity in terms of patient satisfaction and quality outcomes with an emphasis on racial, ethnic, gender and linguistic diversity. Each chapter culminates with a discussion of solutions, which is the focal point of the book, rather than merely stating the problems.

Dr. Patti Rose earned her Master’s Degree from Yale University, followed by her Doctorate (EdD) from Teachers College, Columbia University. In recent years, courses that she has developed and taught included Black Women in Medicine and Healing, Psychosocial Health and Healing and Women (on-line course), Race and Healthcare in America, Culture, Race and Diversity Issues in the United States, Mass Incarceration and the Impact on the Black Community and Black Women in Medicine and Healing. 

Cecile Bereal is your host of Serving Up Diversity, a show designed to showcase the value of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and to examine best practices among stellar companies striving for a cohesive and diverse workforce.
