Many health care organizations made public commitments to become antiracist in the wake of George Floyd's murder. These actions raise questions about the appropriateness of health care's engagement in racial justice and social justice movements generally. We argue that health care organizations can be usefully thought of as having two roles: a functional role to care for the sick and a meta-role as an organizational citizen. Fulfilling the role of citizen may require participating in the pursuit of social justice, including efforts to achieve racial equity. The demands of these two roles will need to be balanced, but the role of organizational citizen has been largely ignored and merits serious attention.
许多医疗保健组织在乔治·弗洛伊德被谋杀后公开承诺成为反种族主义者。这些行动引发了人们对医疗保健机构参与种族正义和社会正义运动的适当性的质疑。我们认为，可以将医疗保健组织视为具有两个角色：一个是照顾病人的功能角色，另一个是作为组织公民的元角色。履行公民角色可能需要参与追求社会正义，包括努力实现种族平等。这两个角色的需求需要平衡，但组织公民的角色在很大程度上被忽视了，值得认真关注。
