BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity for healthcare professionals to evaluate how they connect patients of color with resources to better manage their mental health. We spoke with our multidisciplinary care team—including pharmacists, therapists, community health workers, and care coordinators—to learn more about the specific mental health challenges many in the BIPOC community face and how to address them.

“I know that it’s not just patients that feel stressed by healthcare delivery—PCPs also feel that. It’s been great to work for a company that wants to address that strain on both sides, making sure that patients and providers both see improvement.” Abum Ezeonwu, Waymark’s Care Coordinator Lead in the Greater Seattle area, helps connect patients with PCPs and community resources to ensure that those at risk for adverse health events get the care they need before it’s too late.
