Racial disparities in healthcare aren't just clinical, they are shaped by the everyday decisions frontline managers make.In this episode of The Pinnacle Podcast, we unpack Traci Patton Turner, Deane Desper, Rae Denise Madison, and Cathy Royal's article, Strategies Frontline Managers Need to Mitigate Racial Bias and Advance Equity in Healthcare, featured in the latest issue of The Pinnacle.
