We’re hearing a lot these days about health equity. Going forward, we’ll become much more familiar with this term and weave health equity into our professional practices. Telligen has a landing page that will provide you with great information: Health Equity – Your one-stop shop for health equity resources.

Health equity is the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health. Achieving this requires focused and ongoing societal efforts to address historical and contemporary injustices; overcome economic, social and other obstacles to health and healthcare; and eliminate preventable health disparities.
