The Seedworks Health Equity in Nursing Program is uplifting aspiring nurses and fighting bias in health care.
The first cohort of Seedworks Scholars recently graduated from the UMass Amherst Elaine Marieb College of Nursing. This group of new nurses is not only ready to embark on careers in the nursing profession—they will also serve as passionate advocates for health equity.
Racism has a significant impact on medical care in the United States and around the world. Biases, both conscious and unconscious, contribute to disparities in health care, affecting quality of care and health outcomes for people from marginalized communities.
