Listen to and reflect on this set of SEE YOU NOW podcasts to learn how nurses like you are innovating how they address specific health equity gaps in their communities. These empowering stories include:
- Reading the Signs: Nurses are often the first point of clinical contact for victims and play a key role in identifying and providing resources to them. You will meet Danielle Bastien, RN, DNP, FNP-BC, a nurse practitioner at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan who researched and explored human trafficking and how health systems, and nurses specifically, can identify and protect victims, help them find a way out, and a safer, more secure path forward.
- Black Midwives & Mamas Matter: Hear from three healthcare innovators who personally and professionally—as Black women and advisors to the Black Mamas Matter Alliance—work tirelessly to advance policy grounded in human rights and reproductive justice to improve Black maternal health and lives. You will learn from Jennie Joseph, LM, CPM, RM, Founder and Executive Director of Commonsense Childbirth and Founder of the National Perinatal Task Force; Joia Crear-Perry, MD, Founder and President of the National Birth Equity Collaborative; and Monica McLemore, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN, Tenured Associate Professor at the University of California, San Francisco and member of the Bixby Center of Global Reproductive Health.
- Virtual Screening for Safer Shelter(s): Nurse Disrupted—a pandemic response start-up in Madison, WI—was launched in record time to build fast, simple, virtual health screenings for homeless shelters and communities. Bre Loughlin, MS, RN, and Tracy Zvenyach, PhD, APRN-NP, co-founders of Nurse Disrupted discuss how their different, yet complementary backgrounds of technology and policy are part of the strength of their partnership. You will also learn how in solving one problem, they simultaneously solve several more.
- Counting on Faith: Clergy and faith-based organizations are pivotal and trusted players in their communities providing service, leadership, connection, communication, distribution of services, and increasingly, innovation. UK Healthcare’s Chief Diversity Officer Tukea Talbert, DNP, RN, CDP explores how partnerships with our communities’ faith leaders and congregations can build trust, break systemic barriers to access, and move toward health equity.
