Abstract / Description

The task force brings together the leading health equity and system transformation thought leaders in the nation with national and state-level leaders representing diverse communities dealing with health inequities. We are committed to working together, and with other stakeholders and decision-makers, to ensure that health system transformation maximizes opportunities for good health for those most in need. While our primary focus is on addressing racial, ethnic, and geographic inequities, we take an intersectional approach that explicitly incorporates the impact that different identities and experiences have on health inequities, including, but not limited to, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, English language proficiency, tribal political status, and immigration status. We will create a policy agenda that centers on rectifying racial, ethnic, and geographic inequities, and will develop strategies and tactics that are broader in appeal and impact, including building and participating in larger coalitions, and seeking partnerships with diverse stakeholders.
