  "In training physicians about unconscious bias, most will quickly say that they treat every patient the same, but that’s a problem. Treating everyone the same assumes all patients have the same resources or live in the same conditions and that’s painfully not the case. Hospital services need to take into account different backgrounds, history, and issues related to our multicultural society. Inclusion is what you do about that diversity to ensure that this diverse population not only feels that they are welcomed and belong, but truly get the right care that meets their needs."
 -  Dr. Maria Hernandez, founder of Impact4Health.
