Information

The leaders at Mission Health and HCA Healthcare are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion across the organization. As part of their efforts to keep colleagues safe during a pandemic, they transformed their delivery and support of diversity, equity and inclusion through virtual spaces. Join us to learn more about how they:

  • Facilitate our Conscious Inclusion course as an award-winning virtual experience
  • Discuss examples of biases and microaggressions that could potentially impact the patient, customer, and colleague
  • Provide examples of acts of conscious inclusion
  • Describe Zoom Fatigue and how to mitigate its effects

The speakers for this event will be Jeremy R. Brooks and Nyema Sayed of HCA Healthcare.

Jeremy is a Senior Diversity & Inclusion Training Specialist and in his eighth year with the HCA Healthcare family. He has a passion for ensuring that humans connect with community through personal story, reflection, and shared learning. Jeremy is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), holding a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and Bachelor degrees in psychology and social work from Troy University. He also serves on the board of directors for Shower The People, the Young Leaders’ Society with the United Way of Greater Nashville, and the advisory board for NeedLink Nashville.

When not engaging colleagues in learning, Jeremy enjoys serving those who are unhoused and volunteering in faith communities in Nashville. He can also be heard cheering for USC Trojans football or scouting out dog parks and hiking trails with his best friends: Rockwell, Molly, & Teddy.

Nyema Sayed is HCA Division Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Lunch will be served.
