In the last decade, there has been active discourse within nursing communities regarding healthcare disparities associated with racism. To address this critical problem, a multidisciplinary team at a pediatric healthcare setting identified 33 projects across 4 key drivers of health equity. The drivers of health equity include: 1) developing a diverse nursing workforce; 2) creating a nursing culture with a strong sense of belonging; 3) providing learning and growth opportunities; and 4) providing equitable nursing care. This article describes 1 organization's approach to addressing healthcare disparities associated with racism through a nursing program to address equity, diversity, inclusion, and antiracism.
