In recent years in the US, increasing workforce diversity has become a priority in health care and other industries. Many companies, including Fortune 500s, now recognize that having a diverse workforce improves both business and the bottom line—indeed, diversity is key to organizational excellence. In this Medical Center Hour, a panel of physicians explores whether UVA Health System’s growing diversity can add value in a very different way: can our organization’s greater diversity be a lever to mitigate bias in these increasingly fraught times?
