Supporting Statewide Health Equity Leadership

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.
