Dignity-Centered Care: Deepening Equity in Community Health

In this special crossover episode with Center for Care Innovations’s Health Pilots podcast, we explore how the Petaluma Health Center team in Point Reyes and Bolinas is reshaping healthcare with a dignity-centered approach. We're joined by guests, Judith Bravo and Christina Gomez-Mira, as they share their journey of fostering equity, trust, and connection within their clinic and community through their work in CCI’s Resilient Beginnings Network and their collaboration with Vital Village Networks. Together, they reflect on what it takes to build a more equitable, trauma-informed healthcare space—not just for patients, but also for staff. From addressing power dynamics within the clinic to deepening engagement with their rural Latino community, they share key moments of growth, learning, and challenge.
