The American Hospital Association on July 7 bestowed Mount Sinai Health System with the 2022 Carolyn Boone Lewis Equity of Care award, partly because of its anti-racism and anti-Asian bias efforts.

The New York City health system “built a robust diversity, equity and inclusion educational portfolio and included topics such as anti-racism, data and disparities, administrative talent pipeline and unconscious bias,” AHA said in a press release. Mount Sinai also recorded preferred names and pronouns for staff and patients. 

Runners-up for the Equity of Care award include Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health and Philadelphia-based Jefferson Health.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
