Description
Imagine if you or a loved one faced a life-altering diagnosis or traumatic emergency AND the best possible treatment is available at the best healthcare organization, BUT multiple physical and systemic barriers limit or prevent your next steps.
Join our workshop to explore scenarios, propose potential solutions, and assess obstacles and impacts through the lenses of your own experiences. Via senior leader sponsorship, the disABILITY and the Celebrate Dakota! Mayo Clinic Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) were empowered to identify complex issues, consult with—and serve as—subject matter experts, and propose multidisciplinary approaches to transform access for underserved communities and patient populations. We will share insights and the current state of our access improvement implementations.
