About the RISE for Equity Podcast:

RISE cofounders Dr. Anjali Bhagra and Barbara Jordan discuss the crucial role of equity in healthcare, and how Mayo Clinic is building an ecosystem of equity to create a more inclusive environment for staff and patients. In reflecting on season 1 of the RISE for Equity podcast, Dr. Bhagra shared, “I think in this space, it is incredibly important for us to learn from and disseminate stories. I'm very, very proud of the fact that we got to learn from amazing colleagues, collaborators, and innovators through this platform.” 

“We're in this together. We're in very troubled times across the globe and now more than ever is the right time for us to come united with our differences and use this platform, if it works for you, to understand the nuances of different identities and also to understand the power of community in problem-solving.” – Dr. Anjali Bhagra

“All of us have to put on that equity lens and ensure that we are not harming others who may not be at the table. That we are not, without intention, creating systemic issues that are impacting the care of our patients, that are impacting the longevity, the retention of employees. We see it one step at a time, one policy at a time, one practice at a time, with the goal in the end to provide equitable care.” – Barbara Jordan
