Cultural and racial disparities in healthcare continue to undermine outcomes, erode trust, and fracture the patient-provider relationship. The COVID-19 pandemic did not create these inequities—it exposed and intensified them. Prescriptions to Eradicate Cultural Healthcare Disparities offers a critical and insightful examination of the systemic forces that have long shaped an unequal healthcare value system. Dr. Stacey G. and Sandra Hertkorn examine how executive leadership and policy frameworks have perpetuated a care delivery model driven by profit margins—one that exacerbates persistent disparities in care based on race, gender, and socioeconomic status. This book challenges healthcare professionals, administrators, and policymakers to confront hard truths—and equips them with the knowledge and tools needed to create a more equitable, inclusive, and accountable system of care. Accordingly, this book serves as a Call to Action to organize, strategize, and mobilize optimal healthcare services for all United States (U.S.) citizens, regardless of their race, place of origin, ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, or socioeconomic status. The values of democracy in the U.S. require equal treatment for all U.S. citizens, which should include access to and the optimal provision of healthcare services. If you believe there is diversity, equity, and inclusion for all U.S. citizens, why are African Americans and those in underserved communities still subjected to questionable or deadly healthcare practices? Why is there a cultural divide? Why is there inadequate hiring of African American and other minority healthcare professionals? What steps can every underserved individual take to become more self-reliant in their healthcare education? Why do these questions continue to exist after 400 years since the onset of slavery in the U.S.? Lastly, this work also serves as a valuable academic resource, ideal for use in medical education, sociology, anthropology, public health, health equity, and ethnic studies programs that focus on critical thinking and systemic reform.
