The University of Findlay College of Pharmacy is hosting its annual health equity event. The Health Equity: I Can Make a Difference program seeks to help healthcare providers and student healthcare providers improve their knowledge and skills to provide equitable, accessible, and high-quality care for patients from diverse backgrounds. This program will also address the impact of health disparities and the roles and responsibilities of healthcare providers and community members to evaluate solutions.
This event will include a question and answer session with a forward focus on how we can impact meaningful change in healthcare. The link to pre-submit questions can be found

Health Equity and Reconciliation
Regina Holliday
Patient Rights Activist, Artist, Author, Speaker & Founder of the Walking Gallery
Families and patients define their healthcare quality, safety, and overall experience as emotional, while healthcare providers define the experience as biological health. Rev. Regina Holliday seeks to close that gap to co-design outcomes and experiences and create humanism in healthcare. She is a patient advocate and artist known for painting murals depicting the need for clarity and transparency in medical records and to reform health care standards. This advocacy mission was inspired by her husband and his struggle to get appropriate health care. He suffered poor care coordination, a lack of access to data, and a series of medical errors, ultimately losing his battle and his life. Holliday’s husband’s death inspired her to create change needed to drive better patient outcomes and communication for patient and families. Join her in conversation at University of Findlay for her presentation, “Health Equity and Reconciliation,” as we delve into a discussion around how to be a better advocate for patients and families. This dynamic discussion will be on Thursday, April 11, 2024, at 6 p.m. ET in the Davis Street Building, room 2225, on the University of Findlay campus and livestreamed via Zoom.
