Caring as Communities
A monthly podcast aimed at addressing gaps in healthcare for our nation’s most vulnerable patients. Caring as Communities interviews healthcare leaders across the country to discuss what care teams, communities, and government agencies are doing to better support individuals with unique care needs—including mental and behavioral health, substance use disorder, social determinants of health, and other complexities of care.

Addressing Stigmas in Healthcare

Stigmas promote feelings of isolation, unworthiness, and unwelcomeness, leading to discomfort and distrust. Yet they are a common reality in healthcare—especially for patients with social determinants of health, chronic conditions, or addictions. Drs. Stephen Anderson, FACEP, and Donald Stader, FACEP, join Jeneen Skinner of the Camden Coalition to discuss how we can reduce these stigmas in our workplaces.
