The Check Up: Dr. Ana Pujols McKee of The Joint Commission

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the long-standing problems in the healthcare industry over equity of care issues. There are a lot of studies showing evidence that populations of color have disproportionately worse health outcomes than white populations.

Dr. Ana Pujols McKee, executive vice president, chief medical officer, and chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer at The Joint Commission, joined The Check Up to discuss ways the industry can and should be addressing health equity.
