In a world where healthcare disparities continue to impact marginalized populations, one physician is leading a transformative effort to make healthcare more inclusive, equitable, and effective. Dr. Jaymee Shell, a renowned physician and the founder of Shell DEI Consulting, is redefining what it means to care—not just for the body, but for the whole person and community. Her work places equity at the heart of healing, and the impact is reverberating across institutions.
Dr. Jaymee Shell brings together two critical perspectives—clinical expertise and a deep understanding of systemic inequity. As a practicing physician, she’s seen firsthand how bias, lack of representation, and communication gaps negatively affect patient outcomes. But rather than working around the system, she chose to help rebuild it from within.
Through Shell DEI Consulting, Dr. Shell leads a physician-driven movement that guides healthcare organizations toward a new model: one where diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords, but operational imperatives. Her consulting practice is focused entirely on helping medical institutions identify inequities and build inclusive systems that support both patients and professionals.
When Dr. Shell speaks about “inclusive healthcare,” she’s referring to far more than multilingual signage or occasional bias training. Her vision is bold: healthcare environments where staff at every level reflect the communities they serve; where every patient is heard and respected; and where policies actively work to close the gaps in care outcomes.
Shell DEI Consulting delivers comprehensive solutions designed to bring this vision to life. Their services include:
These aren’t one-size-fits-all approaches—they’re custom-built strategies informed by data, lived experience, and medical insight.
One of the hallmarks of Dr. Shell’s consulting approach is her emphasis on action and accountability. Her team begins by conducting thorough organizational assessments that measure inclusion gaps, cultural climate, and equity outcomes. From there, they create tailored roadmaps with clear benchmarks and timelines.
But Dr. Shell doesn’t stop at strategy—she stays involved through the implementation process, ensuring that each plan results in tangible, measurable change. Whether it’s reducing disparities in maternal health outcomes or improving retention rates among BIPOC staff, the results speak for themselves.
Healthcare leaders across the country are turning to Shell DEI Consulting not only because of Dr. Shell’s credentials, but because of her results-driven mindset.
Dr. Jaymee Shell is part of a growing group of medical professionals who believe that equity is not optional—it’s essential. Her consulting practice champions this belief by helping healthcare organizations reimagine their structures, reeducate their leaders, and recommit to equitable care for all.
She often states that “healing begins when people feel seen,” and it’s that principle that drives everything she does. From boardrooms to emergency rooms, Dr. Shell is cultivating a healthcare ecosystem rooted in justice, representation, and humanity.
As the healthcare system continues to recover from the pressures of the pandemic, addressing inequities has never been more urgent. Racial disparities in care, unequal access to mental health services, and gaps in leadership representation have come to the forefront—and Dr. Shell is providing a blueprint for how to fix them.
With Dr. Jaymee Shell leading the charge, inclusive healthcare is no longer a distant goal—it’s a real, achievable standard. Her work proves that when equity is at the heart of healing, everyone benefits.
