On "Embedding Equity: State Leaders Collaborating to Advance Health Equity", at Health Equity Compact #HETS2024 #HealthEquityNow: "We can lead. If we can be the first in universal healthcare and marriage equality, could we be the best in health care?" We will lead. - Yvonne Hao "We need to build an engine of community engagement." - Robert Goldstein, on communities having a "seat at the table" in the Healey-Driscoll Administration's "Advancing Health Equity in Massachusetts (AHEM)" initiative. "Healthcare and human services roles are desperately needed. How can we close the skills gap and escalate the skills needed? We need to break down government silos and bring in people and partnerships." - Lauren Jones

🌟 DEI and Health Equity: A Call to Action 🌟 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) go beyond representation—they reach into the very heart of health equity. Ensuring everyone has fair access to health resources, treatment, and opportunities is essential for thriving communities. 💡 Health equity means addressing systemic barriers and ensuring that race, income, gender, or ability are not predictors of someone’s health outcomes. It’s about ensuring fairness and compassion in healthcare for everyone. DEI and health equity are inseparable. To create inclusive spaces, we must prioritize the health and well-being of every individual, especially those in marginalized communities. By doing so, we uplift people, families, and entire societies. Let’s continue to advocate for and build systems where everyone’s health matters—because only when we all rise together can we truly thrive. 💙 #DEI #HealthEquity #DiversityAndInclusion #EqualAccess #FairHealthcare #Advocacy #CommunityWellness #ThriveTogether #EquityInAction

Minority Health Month is a month dedicated to raise awareness about the distinct health struggles encountered by underrepresented communities and to advocate for equal access to healthcare resources. It shines a light on the unique health challenges faced by these communities, urging us to address disparities in healthcare. Let's advocate for equitable access and outcomes for all, regardless of race or ethnicity, while promoting diversity, inclusivity, and health equity. Together, let's Be The Source For Better Health. #MinorityHealthMonth #TheSourceForBetterHeath #WeListenWeCareWeServe

Millions of community health workers are not salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied. 70% are women. It’s a dual-sided human rights issue. CHWs are exploited and less effective for patients. So one billion people will never see a health worker. At Community Health Impact Coalition we are making #proCHWs the norm worldwide by changing guidelines, funding, and policy. The result? Quality care for all, including those who provide it. Join us: https://bit.ly/3U8Sll9
