Client Testimonial
SHD provides a much needed and innovative approach to address systemic discrimination! While I am proud of the work that I have done in healthcare and biopharma I have thought more about how it has been primarily for people at the top of the access to care pyramid. There is a lot of talk about disparities in healthcare but finding real actions outside of community based efforts is difficult.

Client Testimonial
I really enjoyed the workshop. I think the interview portion went well and I felt that everyone understood the concepts. It was great going through the cases with you. I think everyone has a tendency to jump to a solution and you were great about guiding us to think more carefully about the situations before rushing to the solution. I came away with a better understanding that to truly get to the “better problem to solve”, the thoughtful review of all aspects is critical.
