A six-part training series meant to help reduce health disparities experienced by Alaska’s communities of color kicked off this week on Zoom — and organizers say it has the potential to bring more awareness and improve trust and health outcomes in the state.
Learning to talk about race in a productive way is an important first step toward reducing life-or-death health disparities and improving interactions between underserved communities and health care providers, Growden said. The goal of an ECHO is to create “a space where providers can learn from each other and from community members, and from individuals with lived experiences,” said Jessica Harvill, ECHO Project Director with the university. “It really is designed to democratize knowledge between providers and the community and other specialists.”
Deanne Woodard, a program manager with the Alaska Black Caucus, said she thought the first session went very well.
