Recent government pullbacks on diversity, equity and inclusion stand to exacerbate health disparities among underserved patient populations during a time of rising demand for end-of-life care, according to hospice executives.
The White House thus far this year issued several executive orders that have ramped up the nation’s immigration enforcement policies while also aiming to reduce or eliminate DEI-related activities.
These changes have thrown a wrench in the progression of health equity in the hospice space, according to Victor Couzens, owner, founder and CEO of Mahogany Home Health and Hospice. The updates pose both challenges and opportunities for hospice providers seeking to improve access, trust and breakdown misunderstandings among minority communities, Couzens said at the Hospice News ELEVATE conference in Florida.
