HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS FOR US ... FROM US
"Many black Americans do not trust their healthcare providers to act in their best interests. Research has shown that blacks are much less likely to report trust in their physicians and hospitals; thus, are less likely to seek treatment or be compliant with recommended treatment plans. The medical community should care about this collective sense of black distrust in medicine, as it is a major factor in the well-documented health disparities between blacks and whites."
At Better Urban Health, LLC. we are addressing this issue by:
- Listening to our clients,
- Mandating diversity in our healthcare partnerships,
- Placing great emphasis on healthcare literacy and
- Partnering with providers of color who believe in honesty and transparency; who are trustworthy, who understand clients needs and most importantly, acts accordingly.
