How do we form community relationships that go beyond the surface level? An expert panel gets real about the challenges of creating meaningful partnerships. Marshall Chin (University of Chicago) emphasizes the importance of hard discussions about power dynamics. Sinsi Hernández-Cancio (National Partnership for Women and Families) says that patients' distrust of health systems comes from personal experiences rather than paranoia. Shari Suckoff (Brooklyn Communities Collaborative) stresses that hospitals must leverage their power and invest in community projects. Torian Easterling (One Brooklyn Health) questions the assumptions hospitals make about their communities and demands that hospitals investigate their biases.
