Why is this important? Diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential in promoting ethical practices, driving creativity, and contributing to a more equitable and just society. Through the lens of DEI, this presentation will address healthcare disparities and health equity. Segments of the population's health disparities are driven by social and economic inequities, racism, and discrimination. Among adults with mental illness, Black (39%), Hispanic (36%), and Asian (25%) adults were less likely than White (52%) adults to receive mental health services as of 2021. Roughly six in ten Hispanic (62%), Black (58%), and AIAN (59%) adults went without a flu vaccine in the 2021-2022 season, compared to less than half of White adults (46%)

1. Identify healthcare disparities among different patient populations
2. Modify care based on the social and economic backgrounds of patients
3. Collaborate with providers to give the most appropriate care
