Health Equity Summit

Stronger Together

It is undeniable that health disparities and inequities exist within our local and global communities. We envision a Health Equity Summit that demonstrates the type of effort needed to dismantle institutional inequities, improves patient experience, inspires our communities and advances health equity. At the summit, participants will join an interactive dialogue focusing on health equity, health disparities and health innovation by exploring keynote presentations and panel discussions by top DEI experts and leaders.
