Augusta Health’s Leigh Williams Discusses Health Equity on CIO Podcast - RMcCarthy - 11-16-2024
Augusta Health Assistant CIO, Leigh Williams, sat down with Healthcare IT Today Founder and Chief Editor John Lynn at MEDITECH LIVE to discuss how her organization earned two prestigious industry awards for advancing health equity in rural Virginia. She shares several strategies, starting with community outreach, expanding to 14 different locations, and implementing the technology to support those initiatives;
“One of the best things that we did, which really doesn’t take much money, is simply to collaborate, and talk, and engage, and listen to your communities,” said Williams. “We figured out how to combine what we had to offer with their needs, and a lot of that is meeting people where they are.”
Williams discusses how technology plays a role in their efforts to reach their community members. Read more and access the podcast here.
