Show Notes
In the second episode, Center Faculty Director, Dr. Holly Raffle, interviews Multiethnic
Advocates for Cultural Competence (MACC) Inc. Executive Director Tracy Maxwell Heard. Their
conversation focuses on health equity. It draws upon Ms. Maxwell Heard’s experience as a
legislator and non-profit leader to explore evidence-based practice, standards, and research’s
role in health equity. The importance of cultural competence — and its benefits for individuals,
organizations, and communities — is highlighted as a key to achieving greater health equity.
Ms. Maxwell Heard explains that putting health equity at the center of behavioral health work
benefits us all, not just people who are marginalized.
