Sutter Health was founded in 1996 from the alliance of health systems located in Sacramento and the California Healthcare System in the Bay Area. However, the organization’s foundation evolved from the 1800s as self-governing hospitals, committed to provide healthcare services to their locality ("Sutter," 2017). In Northern California, Sutter Health acquired the Roseville Community Hospital in 1993, but as the community grew, the organization eventually built a bigger affiliate and opened its doors 1997 as Sutter Roseville Medical Center (SRMC) ("SRMC," 2017). I chose to write about this organization, specifically the SRMC, because I have been an employee of this company since March of 2005, therefore, I have witnessed the hospital’s transition…

1. Sutter Memorial Hospital Volunteer My main responsibility was to assist the technician, nurses, and physicians.

This brings the issue of why is there any differences in the health care delivery system in our nation. We may need to look at the decision makers in public health and policy makers, medical educators and officials, most of the hospital administrators or any important medical personnel that are majority white. They operate with their specific white framing, normalizing stereotypes images of distinct racial groups. This links them to a discriminatory practice and results in institutionalized inequalities in health care. This is also true for women in work place, as the time norms reflects male ways of living and working.…

The paper seeks to elucidate provider disparities which is when a physician has varying treatment of different patients, an act that contributes to health disparities. This practice is thought to stem from implicit bias from unintentional and unconscious assumptions.…
Female MDs have a low implicit race compared to males (Sabin 2009). The study performed by the medical doctors of Johns Hopkins University suggests that overall, female physicians are preferred over male physicians. To explain this, they came to the conclusion that female physicians are preferred over male physicians because they resemble the social qualities of a typical female. The doctors continue to say that the females have a more collaborative relationship with their patients, spend more time with their patients, and discuss social issues with their patients. Though this is true female physicians are known to more willingly prescribe pain medication for a White American Patient, but not a Black American patient (Sabin 2009).…
