Reflect. Inspire. Strengthen. Empower. RISE cofounders Dr. Anjali Bhagra and Barbara Jordan share how these four simple words can evolve equity and inclusion in every industry, starting with healthcare. “My constant challenge to myself,” said Bhagra, “was that I did not want to develop a program that was more like a checkbox of complete this training and complete that training.” Rather than creating seminars, she crafted a concept that stresses human development and could be scaled for long-term, wide-reaching results.

“What excites me is the energy that we're going to rally, the enthusiasm that we are going to build, and a whole very momentous activation that we're going to build with RISE.”
--Anjali Bhagra, M.D.

“Equity, Diversity and Inclusion has become such an important part of the work we do. We believe that to provide the best care to every patient, every day -- which is our mission -- we must have it embedded across everything we do.”
--Barbara Jordan, M.S.

“It’s our mission to provide the best patient care to every patient, not just white patients, not just men, not just folks from Minnesota, but every patient every day.”
--Barbara Jordan, M.S.

"Education has been at the forefront of the movement.”
--Barbara Jordan, M.S.
