title: Disparity in care? Not in my hospital! Providers confront an uncomfortable reality. Blind to bias?
abstract: All providers want to believe they offer the same quality of care to all patients. But studies reveal a disparity between care delivered to Americans who are members of racial or ethnic minorities and that delivered to whites, regardless of how that care is paid for. But, some progressive organizations are confronting and working to eliminate those disparities.
