Health Equity – Boston Medical Center’s Sheila Phicil

This week's VentureFuel Visionary is Sheila Phicil, Director of Innovation at Boston Medical Center's Health Equity Accelerator. The Health Equity Accelerator is a program that aims to bridge the race-based health equity gap prevalent in the U.S. healthcare industry. At the core of this initiative is the identification of gaps through data analysis. Data-driven insights will help them understand the challenges faced by different communities, particularly those that have historically been underserved.

Sheila shares how the program is all about harnessing innovation to serve vulnerable and marginalized populations. She believes in the power of collaboration and empathy. By co-designing solutions with patients and partners, the Health Equity Accelerator ensures that the voices and needs of those affected are heard and incorporated into the process.
