Emergency departments provide safety-net care for many Black communities and are ideal settings to begin this investigation. This study will use remote patient engagement (text messaging) and qualitative methods to investigate Black patient perceptions of racism during visits to the emergency department, to guide institutional change.

The first intervention is creating and building a community co-designed micro park space in a formerly greened vacant lot. The second intervention consists of a digital health intervention including a nature coach working with participants to increase the amount of time they spend outside in nature. We are working in 6 predominantly Black Philadelphia neighborhoods and tracking mental health and wellbeing outcomes. PI: Eugenia C.

The negative impact of these experiences is profound; clinicians and other staff experience stunted career development and isolation, and patient care and outcomes suffer. And yet, there are often no mechanism in place to regularly collect and intervene on these daily experiences of racism. Leaders often have a blind spot with regard to what is happening on-the-ground in the workplaces they oversee. Lift Every Voice is a low-friction, anonymous digital platform design to actively collect experiences and observations of racism, spark conversation among staff, and catalyze antiracist action among leaders and intervene on experiences of racism in the healthcare workplace.
