WHY HEALTH EQUITY?
WHY NOW?
Despite significant advances in healthcare innovation and technology, racialized health inequities have persisted and even worsened over the last century. These trends persist due to the expansive reach of systemic racism on Black communities and other communities of color. Healthcare organizations must act now to mitigate the root causes of these inequities.
Systemic Racism in Healthcare
Historical and ongoing discrimination in healthcare has detrimentally affected the health of Black communities. AHE can help healthcare organizations to understand the roots causes of current-day racialized health inequities and provide strategies to help close the gaps.
The COVID-19 Pandemic & Black Communities
The pandemic has exposed and amplified pre-existing racial health inequities. AHE can adeptly dissect the multiple factors, related to systemic racism, responsible for these disturbing trends and engage with your organization to mobilize for health equity.
Advancing Racial Equity in the Workplace
Using a racial equity lens, AHE will identify your organizational culture, as well as key areas of organizational change necessary to evolve into an equitable, anti-racist workplace. AHE can also provide technical assistance in order to increase your organization’s racial equity capacity.
