Judith discusses drivers of health that affect how patients either engage with their healthcare or drop out of it and recommends a few steps that payers and providers can take to make a difference in diversity and inclusion. Finally, she highlights what she calls “bright spots” like focus and teamwork, things that are already happening that move towards more health equity.
