The University of Michigan Health’s Healthcare Equity Consult Service (HECS) expanded service to the Ypsilanti Health Center (YHC) last fall. Yesterday a panel discussion shared lessons learned from the partnership. HECS highlighted how the principles of healthcare equity (i.e., trust, communication, and connection) are embodied by the YHC leadership and clinical care teams to serve the community and Michigan Medicine patients and families.
