Health Equity Series

The Healthcare Foundation Board and staff are committed to educating ourselves about the most pressing issues of our time as they impact health and wellbeing. We invite you to join us on this journey of self-education focused on health inequities. Below you will find a series of bite-sized Ted Talks, articles, poems, comedy sketches, and other resources. Our hope is to create a common understanding of health equities in the United States as well as the ways that, together, we can create a world in which everyone has access to a healthful life.
