How we’re empowering our teams to fight healthcare inequality

November 3, 2021 | Diversity, Hiring, Inclusion, equity 

Welcoming Sheena Amin-Liebman as our new Diversity and Inclusion Director. Sheena will play a vital role in creating an inspiring environment that empowers staff to better guide its clients in their work to improve health outcomes for the patients they serve.

Inequality is pervasive in the healthcare systems across the globe, disproportionately impacting people of color and other marginalized groups. From lower life expectancy to racial disparities in maternal care and challenges accessing treatment, it’s clear people of color face barriers preventing them from fully benefiting from treatment and care across the entire spectrum of their lives.

Inequalities are often evident in the way therapies and life science services are developed. As a result, many companies have pledged to better support marginalized patients through research and development, by developing strategies to improve access, and through the development of more inclusive medical affairs and marketing tactics.

At Fishawack Health, our goal is to help our clients deeply understand, reach, and engage the patients they serve, including marginalized groups. We are working hard to develop a culture that empowers our team members to recognize inequalities. Our ambition is to equip our teams with the knowledge and skills to uncover opportunities that help our life science clients develop better solutions for diverse patient populations.

Today, we have reached a milestone in our journey: appointing Sheena Amin-Liebman in the newly created role of Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Director. Sheena will lead Fishawack Health’s D&I objectives and drive change across its multiple locations globally.
