We are so excited to announce that we are officially launching the Health Equity Community Collaborative (HECC). We are a movement of community health leaders, public health researchers, healthcare providers and health equity advocates committed to cultivating belonging, healing and shared power within our shared community.
Our goals are to share resources, best practices and expertise across issue areas, sectors and geographies, along with reimagining policy and directing more resources to community health.
In October 2020, community leaders and health advocates came together to establish the Vaccine Equity Cooperative (VEC) to address the converging health crises of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have had some incredible wins, the work must continue. Thank you for all your feedback – from meetings, to surveys, to working groups, webinars and more – about how we should move forward.
No one person, organization, philanthropist, institution or community can eradicate health inequities alone, and we want to co-create this next phase alongside you. Myself and the core partners remain committed to building the biggest tent so that we all can learn, serve, heal and benefit in a caring community.
With this in mind, please join our upcoming HECC Virtual Community Gathering Launch Event on Tuesday, August 6th at 2pm ET / 11am PT to learn more about the HECC and how you can co-create alongside us. And in the meantime, FILL OUT THIS SURVEY. We want to continue hearing from you – listening, learning, supporting and growing our community of 8,000+.
We envision a future in which life-affirming opportunities and life-extending resources are abundant, shared and accessible so we collectively experience and participate in our healing, longevity, shared power and well-being. We hope you will join us in this vision and help us get there.
