Let’s Talk About Light and Health Series – Equal Lights: Projects Focused on Health Equity

 

Join the NLB as they talk with Mount Sinai’s Institute for Health Equity Research director, Carol Horowitz, MD, MPH. “The goal of healthy equity,” as defined by Dr. Horowitz, “is to make sure every single human being has the opportunity to be as healthy as they can possibly be,” but there is a long road ahead to reach this goal. Stick with us as we discuss how and why health inequities occur, and what is already being done to mitigate some of these issues. During the discussion, learn about biases in medical devices and some shocking insights on how racism is baked into these algorithms for creating medical devices and treatments. The session is sponsored by New Star Lighting.
