JustHealth's Commitment to Advancing Equitable Healthcare with CERCA

August 11, 2023

At JustHealth, our core mission revolves around promoting equitable healthcare access for all individuals. We firmly believe that every person, regardless of their identity or origin, deserves equal opportunities for high-quality medical care. With unwavering dedication, we're excited to announce our active participation in the NYC Coalition to End Racism in Clinical Algorithms (CERCA), representing a significant stride in our ongoing pursuit of healthcare parity.

Strengthening Change through Collaborative Participation


On July 20, 2023, JustHealth took a significant step by engaging in CERCA, a pioneering initiative led by the New York City Department of Health. The ethos of CERCA strongly resonates with our own goals: dismantling biases within clinical algorithms and ensuring that patient care is guided by principles of fairness, empathy, and dignity.


Aligned with the objectives of CERCA, we're eager to collaborate with likeminded professionals and organizations that are dedicated to reforming the healthcare system. By actively participating in CERCA, we contribute to reshaping medical algorithms to be unbiased and impartial, thus positively impacting the lives of countless patients.


A Unified Commitment to Progress


Our participation in CERCA signifies a substantial stride forward in our efforts to bridge healthcare disparities. Standing alongside CERCA, we advocate for transformation, challenge biases, and nurture innovation to cultivate a future where healthcare is accessible and fair to all.


The participation between JustHealth and CERCA holds immense potential in shaping a comprehensive and equitable healthcare landscape. United by shared values, collective endeavors, and an unswerving commitment to advancement, we are confident that our engagement will yield positive outcomes for patients, healthcare establishments, and communities on a grand scale.


We invite you to join us in commemorating this pivotal moment as we embark on a journey toward healthcare parity and a more equitable future. Together, we can make a lasting impact and ensure that healthcare knows no barriers, transcending backgrounds and identities.
