Care3 CEO David S. Williams III Speaks at Health Equity Roundtable
One of the areas most underserved by the healthcare system for people of color is mental health. Between the stigma against seeking mental health care among communities of color and the inequities of access and outcomes in the healthcare system, it’s no wonder people of color have poorer mental health outcomes than the general population. Care3 is committed to solving this monumental challenge.
Care3 Founder & CEO, David S. Williams III, recently spoke on an invite-only virtual roundtable focused on health equity led by Veriteos. Veriteos is a leading company committed to development of a nationwide network of digital health companies and healthcare enterprises sharing real-world data as a pathway to achieve health equity.
Luminaries hailing from leading companies including Radical Health, MiSalud, Meru Health, Wise Therapeutics, Louisiana Public Health Institute, and more also attended the roundtable. Mr. Williams discussed his personal and experiences with health inequities while outlining solutions that include the Treat Us Right Podcast (reaching over 20,000 subscribers) and the Care3 platform helping thousands of families leverage health and social determinants data to reduce bias in treatment decisions.
Health inequity costs $135 billion in excess medical costs and lost productivity each year. Private industry, nonprofits, and government agencies must all come together to minimize these disparities for better public health and long term economic viability in the US. Care3 and Veriteos are leading the way.
