We will not turn a blind eye; ending racism in healthcare is on all of us

Six months ago, Joyce Echaquan, a 37-year-old Atikamekw woman, died in a Quebec hospital. Her cries for help were ignored by hospital staff but have now resounded across Canada. They served as a wake-up call for health systems, health professionals, and the institutions that train nurses, doctors, and rehabilitation therapists.

This applies to organizations too. In fact, when you have hundreds - or thousands - of people working together, a common purpose is essential.
