To commemorate National Minority Health Month, we are thrilled to present a special podcast series in collaboration with our Strategic Alliance Partner, UPMC Health Plan. This final episode features an insightful conversation with Janine Jelks-Seale, MSPPM, the director of health equity at UPMC Health Plan. With a background in research and economic development, Janine is deeply committed to advancing equity in healthcare and promoting health inclusion.
Throughout this series, we have explored various aspects of minority health and the importance of addressing health disparities. Our interviews with experts in the field have revealed the need for intersectional approaches to healthcare that take into account member characteristics and geography to identify populations at higher risk for adverse health outcomes due to social determinants of health. We have also examined initiatives and efforts by organizations such as UPMC Health Plan to address these disparities and promote health equity for all individuals.
We hope you have enjoyed listening to this podcast series and gaining a deeper understanding of the significance of minority health and health equity. Be sure to check out our other episodes on platforms such as iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, and Spotify. Thank you for joining us in this crucial conversation about advancing health equity and promoting inclusion in healthcare.
