In this episode of Nurse to Nurse, Mandy and Gwen host Doris Fischer-Sanchez, Senior Vice President of Clinical Risk at Marsh McClellan's Senior Living & LTC Industry Practice for an insightful discussion on how bias, especially ageism, shapes care delivery in senior living. Doris explores the roots and repercussions of bias, its presence in caregivers and residents and alike, and how nurses can lead cultural change in their communities. The episode underscores the need for intentionality, self-awareness, and cultural humility to create inclusive, respectful, and psychologically safe environments for aging adults.

Key Takeaways
