Welcome to final episode of the American Hospital Association's special podcast series #JustLead, a look at how hospitals and health systems that have been recognized with AHA awards for innovation collaboration and health equity, are transforming healthcare to better serve their communities. Over the past few years the concept of equity in health care has increasingly been moving from words in an online mission statement into real steps and concrete actions taken by health care providers all across the country. The American Hospital Association's annual Carolyn Boone Lewis Equity of Care award was established to recognize and salute outstanding efforts among hospitals systems to advance equity of care. In this podcast, Ashleigh Hargrave, Senior Director of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity at Novant Health in Winston Salem, North Carolina, sits down to discuss Novant Health's drive for health equity and its achievements.
