Abstract

Facets of well-being for cardiothoracic surgeons include interconnectivity, or a sense of belonging within a community, and social relatedness. Striving for health equity achieves a sense of belonging and meaning to one's work. In "Elevating Health Equity: The Synergy of Community Engagement and Advocacy," the imperative for mentorship and diversification within health care is expounded, establishing a multitiered blueprint for equity. Integral to this framework is the nurturing of a heterogeneous health care workforce, ameliorating racial and gender disparities in patient care. This article puts forth an intricate, empirically substantiated roadmap toward a more empathic and efficacious health care system.
