This is not new
The hospitals have sincerely been working on this problem for years. It is a top priority regardless of the headlines/press spin.
Hospitals are the furthest down stream
They are making progress, but there is far more progress to be made in reducing disparities in the upstream determinants of health: economic and housing discrimination, access to routine health care, ability to jog in a park without cops being called, etc.
The real solution is to have more integrated housing,
i. e. racially, socioeconically, and ethnically, as well. More integrated housing would also go a long way towards ending such disparities in the determinants of health, economics, and housing discrimination.
