DAY 3: LOCAL INITIATIVES: HOFSTRA’S ROLE IN SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES THE HOFSTRA NORTHWELL SCHOOL OF NURSING AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT STUDIES presents
SESSION 9: COMMUNITY EQUITY FOR A SUSTAINABLE TOMORROW To improve population health, health equity needs to become a priority and measures to reduce disparities must be integrated into health care, academic services, and training programs. Training public health providers, physicians, nurses, and other allied health workers to address the social determinants of medical care is one of the key principles for promoting more equitable health outcomes for patients, families, and communities. This moderated roundtable will describe how to create and sustain community equity, locally and globally, in premedical education and healthcare settings. Panelists: • Debora A. Riccardi, DNP, Assistant Professor of Nursing & Ideals coordinator, and • Micheal Cassara, MD, Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Nursing, and Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Science Education Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies • Shari Jardine, MPH, Northwell Health Moderator: Renee McLeod-Sordjan, DNP, Vice Dean and Professor of Nursing Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies Assistant Professor, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell
