you know honestly I would I would say
it's leadership Anjali uh you know we've
got uh organizations that have
historically
um not necessarily given these uh given
priority these topics you see a lot of
talk a lot of talk coming from across
the healthcare Industries entities that
are
um you know uh saying that they believe
in Health Equity saying that they
believe in disparities reductions but
when you actually look at the real
Investments that they're making
um they're small and they're
insignificant in the context of the
broader challenges we face as a society
and so um you know my view is that you
know while there's a lot of rhetoric
that's being devoted to
serving you know underserved populations
the true Investments that are being made
are actually quite limited and so I I
think when I think of solving these
problems I think what we have what where
it needs to start from is ultimately
leadership and more organizations making
real commitments as opposed to just the
window dressing that um we've tended to
see I think the window dressing has
created the impression that
organizations are trying and because of
the the metrics haven't necessarily
moved it's making us feel like you know
our efforts are failing I would say the
efforts have just not been significant
enough deep enough or
um impactful enough uh because you know
they haven't necessarily been at the
center of an organization strategy a lot
of what we're trying to prove at scan is
that what when you actually set these
priorities and make you know relevant
Investments you can not only move you
know clinical outcomes and reduce
disparities but you can also move
business outcomes and that's that's our
goal we're not doing the embrace the the
affair product the lgbtq plus product
you know purely for you know altruistic
reasons we actually think that there's a
market that is underserved here and
where we can actually grow share and so
um I think that there's this interesting
moment in time when there's an alignment
of business interests as well as doing
the right thing from a social justice
perspective
