Making the case for health equity

I spent the last week of October in California for PolicyLink’s Equity Summit 2015. Thousands gathered in Los Angeles, creating an incredible opportunity for fresh perspectives and innovative ideas toward making equity a nationwide reality. The agenda included talks ranging from climate work to arts and culture to criminal justice reform.

Every attendee was well aware of the attractiveness of health equity as a concept, but I, and likely others, wanted answers to the looming challenge of making it an issue everyone values and cares about. Over the course of three days, I came away with a lot of great information, and three big ideas that can set the foundation for making the broad case for health equity in Colorado.
