“There’s a lot of research that shows we have disparities in the health care system. It’s well-documented. I don’t want to read another study that documents that we have disparities in health care. I want to start reading articles about what we’re doing about it. What are the interventions that we can design and implement to make a difference for these patients? How can we reduce these gaps?”
