Syra Health Corp. announced that it has been awarded another training by the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH). This training focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and marks Syra Health's fourth training in the county.

The training aimed at tackling health disparities in marginalized and underserved communities will cover essential topics such as defining DEI and understanding various DEI-related acronyms. The training will include the value DEI brings to organizations and will focus on how to distinguish performative DEI efforts from genuine ones. Participants will learn strategies to integrate DEI principles into their work and how to navigate environments that do not support DEI practices. The curriculum underscores the importance of fostering inclusive environments to promote health equity and empower communities.

The target audience for this training includes Maricopa County community partners who serve individuals facing systemic barriers that exacerbate health disparities. These organizations play a critical role in addressing health inequities within Maricopa County.
