To understand the present—and improve the future—we must acknowledge the past. Last week, Dr. Kellie Bryant, DNP, WHNP, CHSE, FSSH, FADLN, FAAN led a powerful live session in our Health Equity Champions Program on Historical Injustices and Their Impact on Contemporary Healthcare Inequities. As we mark Minority Health Month, it’s a powerful moment to reflect on how history continues to influence present-day healthcare inequities—and what we must do to change that. We must teach about our past so we can learn from it—and ensure we don’t repeat it. Dr. Bryant posed a critical question: "Some say, ‘Why keep focusing on the past? That doesn’t happen anymore.’ So let’s ask ourselves—why does the past still matter?" Our participants responded with insight, vulnerability, and honesty. Thank you to everyone who contributed your voice. Your input was invaluable and continues to shape this shared learning experience. Want to stay updated on future learning opportunities?
