Setting Health Equity Visions for Success: Part One

People have different approaches to understanding what health equity is and how to achieve it. This webinar will bring together people from multiple sectors for a conversation and discussion of what success in health equity work looks like. Speakers will hail from a variety of backgrounds including academia, non-profits, philanthropy, and community activism, among others. Their stories will highlight the broad array of successful achievements in the field of health equity through this discussion on policy, “on-the-ground” efforts in communities, health and technology, philanthropy, and more. Through the sharing of their successes and challenges, we will seek to create shared definitions of success in health equity based on the perspectives of the collective.

• Hear success stories from established health equity leaders from various backgrounds to inspire and empower participants to begin or continue health equity work.
• Discover strategies for reforming, disrupting and dismantling systems toward the goals of health equity that can be implemented in both general and specific situations.
• Share visions and solutions to combat inequities in our communities.
