Episode 24: Getting Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

During this episode, Tim speaks with Marwa Hassanien, director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Northern Light Health. Marwa shares her background as a bilingual, first-generation American, her approach to DEI, and what she hopes to accomplish within Northern Light Health. She says, “We must get comfortable with being uncomfortable to address underlying systemic issues relating to bias, equity, and racism.” Tim reflects on this statement and recalls the early days of Northern Light Health’s work and how far we have come. In addition, they both discuss Northern Light Health’s new policy to eliminate discrimination towards providers and staff, as part of our efforts to build a stronger culture of caring throughout the system for everyone.
