Michele and Terry Wright are fully committed to health equity in health care and health outcomes (i.e., Newborn screening, clinical research, highly effective therapies, etc.).
As with Terry Wright’s late diagnosis, health disparities can make the difference between life and death, sickness and health, quality of life and well-being, and/or avoiding and minimizing the burden of disease, surgeries, injury, and other negative medical outcomes. Health equity is imperative in ensuring that all populations and members of society can achieve and sustain optimal health – regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, or values/beliefs – and are afforded the same fair and unbiased opportunity to receive the best quality of health available.
Michele and Terry can offer your organization educational content, assessment methods, and short- or long-term consultancy to evaluate your institutional culture and climate, set health equity goals, and transform the experience of patients and families from marginalized backgrounds. To discuss how they can help your organization advance ahead with health equity and address health disparities, then contact Michele Wright at noaacf@gmail.com.
