  • Summary

  • Millions of Americans experience poor health outcomes. Often, this is due to factors outside of their control, such as where they live or where they work. These factors can result in health inequities一systematic differences in opportunities to achieve optimal health between groups of people. Often, these differences lead to unfair or delayed treatment, preventable diseases, and adverse health outcomes.

We’re going to hear from health equity experts, nurses, and physicians who have witnessed the impact of health disparities on the individuals they care for and explore the causes behind poor health outcomes, the social determinants of health that influence an individual’s health outcome, and how health inequities can impact the entire wellbeing of the nation.
