White Coats for Black Lives

White Coats for Black Lives aims to dismantle racism in medicine and fight for the health of black people and other people of color. Across Trinity Health, colleagues kneeled in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds as a display of solidarity and to make a statement that white coats are for black lives.

Racism - A Public Health Crisis

On January 29, 2021, Trinity Health launched a course, Racism – A Public Health Crisis, as an initial step toward ending systemic racism and achieving health equity. 100% of Trinity Health's Senior Leaders completed this training. Here are some of the things they said after completing the program:

"I appreciate the education, welcome it, learned from it, and I am actively sharing my learnings with others to help educate and hold myself accountable."

"This course has made a significant impact in my life and work. This course opened my eyes to see how I can be an agent of change."

"Thank you for creating such a comprehensive, informative and inspirational program that has challenged me to think about my role in systemic racism and prompting me to do something to be part of the solution."
