Join Us
Long-standing health care disparities and inequities continue to impact the health of communities throughout the country. Systemic drivers such as structural racism, economic disadvantages, education, safe and affordable housing, transportation and nutritious food have resulted in disproportionate health outcomes across different patient populations.
Join us in Atlanta for the Accelerating Health Equity Conference May 20-22, where leaders and organizations focused on addressing these challenges will collaborate, learn from one another and map out the best way forward.
