Health Equity Series: Continuing the Conversation
Continuing the Conversation
This series is intended to continue the conversation; creating a space to dive into some of the interdependent components that impact the ability to achieve health equity. We have invited leaders and subject matter experts across the Dakotas to share their expertise, personal experiences, best practices, and application strategies.
Objectives:
1. Understand health equity and how it applies to healthcare facilities (of all sizes and locations)
2. Describe the various components of health equity and their impact on achieving equitable care
3. Identify opportunities of growth for organizations and individuals
4. Access resources to help with ensuring equitable care
