Strategies and Frameworks for Incorporating Community Perspectives in Health Equity

While solving health inequities in healthcare does not wholly lie with any one stakeholder, employers can play a far greater role. Healthcare systems are struggling to find solutions to the debilitating inequities in healthcare access, provision, and outcomes. We believe that sustainable success and solutions will only be delivered through clarity of goals, innovative and inclusive community-based programs, conscious and sustained collaboration between the public and private sector, and accelerated, measured impact. New community data- designed by communities – can help point to solutions and prioritize research and practice for effective action. In this Symposium, eminent experts will discuss this unfolding line of research and explore improved equitable access to healthcare for at-risk communities to chart a path forward.
