STC-ACHE Offering 1.5 Face-to-Face Education Credits at their April 3rd Lunch & Learn

Posted on March 4, 2020 by Healthcare Leaders of San Antonio

Join the South Texas Chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives as we host our Spring Lunch-N-Learn offering 1.5 Face-To-Face Education Credits.

Title: Diversity: Fostering Inclusion of LGBT Patients

Description: Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) patients face many challenges in accessing knowledgeable, unbiased and welcoming healthcare in all practice settings. The potential and/or fear of receiving derogatory remarks, unequitable care, or being turned away from treatment often deters some of the LGBT community and their families from seeking healthcare services. Healthcare equality for all people is a guiding principle of the healthcare management profession. However, discrimination towards the LGBT community continues in the healthcare environment today. This panel discussion will focus on the need to strengthen the pursuance of equity of care and to foster inclusion of LGBT patients and employees.

Our moderator, Amy Stone, Ph.D of Trinity University is an accomplished sociologist who has recently published research on this topic and excited to share / discuss. Join her and our panelists for what is sure to be an enlightening and professionally broadening luncheon. Your ticket includes lunch consisting of Brisket, Smoked Turkey, and Pulled Pork along with all the fixings. Alcohol is available for purchase separately.

Dr. Sarah Bodner on Good and Bad (Office) Politics

Posted on October 19, 2019 by Healthcare Leaders of San Antonio

Corporate politics are a fact of life, and many of us who have worked in healthcare would probably say they are more prevalent in our industry than in any other. The reality is that they are universal and one must be able to navigate them successfully. But you don’t necessarily have to become a pirate to sail those waters. Instead, read Dr. Sarah Bodner’s excellent blog, “Taking the ‘Ick’ Out of Office Politics” here.

And be sure to watch her brief video on the topic as well.
