Confronting health injustice and advancing equity.

Structural racism is the root cause of health inequities. COVID-19 exacerbated the profound injustices underlying the U.S. health system and made them impossible to ignore. We all have a role in disrupting and dismantling systems that produce harm as well as find ways to reimagine and rebuild these systems to ensure justice, compassion, and equitable care. You can do your part by gaining knowledge and learning skills to advance equity across the health system. Our curated education from trusted sources, will help you understand how systems of power, structures (laws/policies), systems and institutional policies and practices impact us all.
