Summary: Diversity In The Health Care Industry

115 Words1 Page

Hello Larry, excellent post! Agree that diversity can be challenging in the health care industry, as opposed to other industries. This is because, a more diverse demography requires the health care industry to change and be on their feet in an already stressful static environment. Despite this, it can be very rewarding helping the patients from different backgrounds and learning more about their stories and experiences. Thus, a main question from that portion of the post, in what ways can the health care industry use diversity as a way to enhance their practices regarding treating patients?

Thank you, and it was great being in this class with you, other classmates, and the professor, Dr. Hancock!
