NEW
YORK, Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's
Marketplace (TMP) is proud to announce a featured interview with
Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) Global Chief Medical Officer,
Kenneth Stein, MD, and Scott Shipman, MD, MPH, Executive Director for
the Institute for Population Health. The doctors joined host
Jane King to discuss health
inequities and Boston Scientific's work to improve access to care
for underserved populations.
"[We need] to address the factors that
impede health equity."
"[We need] to address the factors that impede health equity,"
Dr. Shipman told King. "These factors include both access,
outcomes, and quality of care in the healthcare system, as well as
many community factors that impact disparities and equity in
quality care."
Dr. Stein explained how Boston Scientific is taking the lead in
tackling those factors with its "Close the Gap" initiative.
"Boston Scientific's mission is to extend the lives of patients
through innovative medical technology," said Stein. "If there are
segments of the population that do not have access to these
technologies, then we cannot achieve our mission. So we established
an initiative called 'Close the Gap' that's aimed at helping to
remove the barriers that can keep patients in underserved
populations from therapies that can make a major difference in
their lives."
Close the Gap promotes education and helps improve access to
preventative services through partnerships with health
professionals and patient advocacy groups.
"If we don't accept that health inequities are our baseline, we
are unlikely to be committed to making changes," Dr. Shipman said.
"The work that Boston Scientific and others are doing is exactly
what needs to be done. We need to study the problem, we need to
work with the communities that have these disparate outcomes, find
the root causes, and act to make a difference."
