How Identity Shapes Our Health Care Experience

Every day, the way we navigate the world is shaped by our race, gender, sexual orientation, and age—but how do these identities affect the care we receive and the care we provide? In this compelling conversation, Hanane Abdalla, Arthur Pope, MD, PhD, and Sandra Sufian, PhD, MPH share their deeply personal stories about how their identities influence their lives, their work, and their ability to navigate equitable healthcare.

Listen as they discuss how identity intersects with healthcare, and how their personal and professional experiences continue to shape their advocacy for health equity. From the way healthcare is delivered to how we access resources, they explore the complex layers of structural inequities that need to be dismantled to create a fairer system for all.

This season is brought to you in collaboration with ZERO- The End of Prostate Cancer (ZERO). This builds upon the Promoting Health Equity in Cancer Care: A Virtual Workshop hosted by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) which was co-chaired by Gwen Darien of PAF and Reggie Tucker-Seeley of ZERO.
