Health Equity Book Club
The Health Equity Book Club seeks to enhance awareness of systematic racism, inequality and misinformation within the medical community. This is achieved through research and reading, followed by honest and transparent conversations about complex topics. At Karmanos, we are committed to delivering outstanding and equitable medical care to every patient, their caregivers, and family member. Our commitment to the Health Equity Book Club help us provide support and empowerment within and beyond the scope of medicine. Join us as we explore ways in which we can address and respond to issues of disparities in health care delivery to enhance outcomes and better serve all patients.
All community members, including health care professionals, trainees and students, are invited to attend.

Mission Statement
The Health Equity Book Club's mission is to build awareness across the community and amongst health care professionals of issues related to and stemming from systematic racism in the health care system and society in the United States. By revealing the contributing factors and results of racism, Karmanos Cancer Institute, in partnership with McLaren Health Care and Wayne State University School of Medicine, seeks to highlight an important goal: to expose and better understand the impact of racism on the practice of medicine. We believe that open dialogue within our community of colleagues, patients and families will help to facilitate the goal of equal access and provision of culturally competent, quality care to all patients and their families regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation.
