Social Justice

Historically marginalized and disadvantaged populations face a higher burden of illness, injury, disability, and mortality, and their access to and use of care is limited. Nursing, and specifically Penn Nursing, has long focused on social justice and improving the outcomes for the most vulnerable.

An ongoing mission

Antonia Villarruel, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor and Margaret Bond Simon Dean of Nursing “Our mission has always been to make a significant impact on improving the health of all people, to be the preeminent intellectual and transformative force in improving health through nursing.” says Antonia Villarruel, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor and Margaret Bond Simon Dean of Nursing. “Social justice and inclusion are vital to achieving that mission and the need to dismantle structural racism is even more important today.”

“Nurses, through their research, practice, education, and advocacy are an important component in leading the elimination of health disparities and in achieving health equity. ” says Dr. Villarruel. “Our commitment to social justice and our work challenges dominant truths and disrupts structural inequities in health care to enhance health and quality of life for all.”

“I chose Penn Nursing due to the value this institution places on community engagement and social justice. It has challenged me to think critically and outside the box, and I’ve had the pleasure of learning not only from my instructors, but also from my cohort—everyone brings a multitude of experiences, ideas, and backgrounds.”

Teitelman, PhD, FNP-BC, FAANP, FAAN </h3><p> Issues of equity are front and center in Dr. Teitelman’s research, practice, and teaching. Much of her research targets unmet needs of often overlooked or under resourced groups, for example, finding ways to promote HIV prevention among women who use drugs or providing easily accessible cancer prevention information and resources for women of color though the use of mobile applications. In her more than 30 years as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Teitelman’s clinical practice has focused on providing primary care to those with limited health care resources. With students at all levels Dr. Teitelman builds on their passion for change and fosters creative and critical thinking to identify problems and possibilities to address major health problems.

This stigmatization is reflected in how sufferers are treated in the health care system; how health professional students are educated about the disease; how sufferers are able to access treatment; how non-evidence-based treatment options profit; and how addiction services are reimbursed.

Women who use drugs face systemic challenges to accessing high-quality healthcare, including stigma from providers, gender-based violence, setting-based safety concerns, childcare responsibilities and legal fears about child custody, lack of gender-focused services, and inflexibility of healthcare settings. Dr. Starbird’s work is rooted in the belief that the best way to minimize these barriers is for the healthcare system to improve the way it delivers care, rather than putting the burden on the individual patient to change her behavior.</p></div></div>
