Understanding and Serving Our Deaf Community
Our friends from Hearing, Speech and Deaf Center and Dr. Chris Lewis of UC Health will present at our next Peer-to-Peer Diversity Learning Forum.
Hearing, Speech & Deaf Center (HSDC), and Doctors Foundation President Dr. Chris Lewis, will be featured in our next Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Peer-to-Peer Learning Forum on September 30th.
THE HEALTH COLLABORATIVE’S Peer-to-Peer Diversity Learning Forum brings healthcare leaders together to collaborate on how to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in our regional workforce. Launched in 2016, our forum members collectively share ideas on how to move Greater Cincinnati’s healthcare workforce to better represent the communities it serves and ensure all employees and future talent have equitable opportunities.
