141: Tackling Health Inequities: Small Steps Can Move the Needle with Dr. Ebekozien

Addressing the inequities that exist in diabetes care relies on each and every one of us in the diabetes space. On this episode of The Huddle, we spoke with Dr. Osagie Ebekozien, Chief Medical Officer at the T1D Exchange and award-winning researcher. Dr. Ebekozien talked about T1D Exchange’s Health Equity Advancement Lab (HEAL) and it’s work in advancing health equity for underserved populations. He also outlines actionable steps, no matter how big or small, that DCES across the country can take to advance this work in their practices.

Please note, this podcast was originally recorded in 2023, and host Sacha Uelmen has since moved on from ADCES to pursue another professional opportunity.
