Advancing Health Equity is proud to partner with SUNY Downstate on TRANSPORT II, a research training program dedicated to empowering diverse health science students and future healthcare providers to lead in advancing health equity.

Led by Dr. W. Marcus Lambert, Dr. Moro Salifu, and Dr. Carla Boutin-Foster, TRANSPORT II focuses on equipping students from underrepresented backgrounds with the skills to address health disparities through research, community engagement, and policy development.

As an evaluation and strategy partner, Advancing Health Equity will help assess the program’s impact, identify opportunities for growth, and provide sustainability recommendations to ensure long-term, equity-centered success.

This collaboration is a critical step in strengthening the pipeline of healthcare leaders committed to eliminating disparities and driving meaningful, lasting change in Brooklyn and beyond.

Continuing the Work in a New Landscape

Our Quick-Impact Equity Audits build organizational resilience through Clarity, Alignment, and Confidence.

As federal mandates evolve and public scrutiny intensifies, equity-related practices are increasingly under the microscope. Organizations don’t need sweeping DEI overhauls; they need focused, actionable insights to move forward with clarity, alignment, and confidence.

Informed Decisiveness

In today’s complex environment, organizations must navigate new mandates—like Executive Order 14173—while maintaining public trust and internal cohesion. Our Quick-Impact Equity Audit helps leaders do just that.

We help organizations understand how recent policy shifts affect their equity posture, and equip C-suite, HR, and Legal teams with data—not debate—to make sound decisions. We support leaders in reframing internal and public messaging around inclusion, merit, and compliance in a way that resonates across audiences. And we ensure that efforts are well-documented and demonstrate due diligence—without triggering unnecessary controversy.

Time Matters

In just 2–4 weeks, our Quick-Impact Equity Audit uncovers the legal, operational, and reputational risks tied to current DEI practices. We deliver a custom playbook with tailored positioning, messaging, and decision-making guidance.

We help identify where equity-related initiatives may expose healthcare organizations to public backlash, legal vulnerability, or internal disengagement—especially when not fully aligned with compliance mandates or evolving expectations.

Let’s talk

In just weeks, you can reduce risk and build lasting alignment. Let’s connect for a 30-minute, no-obligation intro meeting.

We’re honored to support one of the country’s leading state health departments in embedding health equity into the core of its mission and operations.

Through a multi-faceted engagement, Advancing Health Equity helped inform the department’s long-term vision and capacity to lead on equity-centered change. Our collaboration included:

Health Equity Assessment: Provided a comprehensive analysis to guide the strategic development of health equity initiatives.
Training for 3,500+ Department Staff: Delivered organization-wide training to strengthen shared understanding of health equity principles and their relevance to public health practice.
Strategic Roadmap Development: Crafted actionable recommendations and a phased implementation plan to drive sustainable progress.

This work culminated in a powerful public commitment from the department’s Commissioner, who formally named health equity a foundational pillar of the agency’s mission.

Together, we’re helping build a public health infrastructure where equity is not just a value—but a guiding standard for decision-making, service delivery, and community trust.
