The Future of Care for CMC Virtual Café #5: Health Equity and Anti-Ableism Through Family Partnership

Join The Future of Care for Children with Medical Complexity Virtual Café Series to connect with peers and learn about topics that matter most to children with medical complexity (CMC) and their families. This inter-disciplinary café-style series, led by the Center for Innovation in Social Work and Health at the Boston University School of Social Work, offers short presentations by nationally recognized experts in the care of CMC, including family partners.

During the fifth café in the series, discussants will give examples of the pressing need to address bias in systems of care and move from a medical to social model of care, and ways family colleagues’ lived expertise is essential to humanizing systems. Participants will then explore and learn about tangible tools, strategies, and resources to effectively partner with families to make real progress in health equity and anti-ableism.

Discussants:

• Michelle J. White, MD, MPH, Duke University School of Medicine
• Nikki Montgomery, MA, MEd, GPAC, Family Voices
