An authentic approach to health equity

In this episode, Rae sits down with Chief Health Equity Officer for United Health Group Michael Currie and VP of social responsibility for Optum, Graham McLaughlin. Together, they discuss why statements that condemn structural racism are not enough, and why leaders must take an authentic approach to combatting racism and improving health equity. Radio Advisory is produced by Advisory Board, a division of Optum, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.
