Health equity ensures that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their highest level of health. It involves recognizing and addressing the social, economic, and environmental barriers within communities and systems that lead to unequal health outcomes for individuals.

Understanding and promoting health equity is essential because it can:

• Help reduce preventable illnesses and premature deaths
• Enhance overall quality of life
• Strengthen communities and increase resilience
• Contribute to a more efficient and cost-effective healthcare system

Join Ovation Healthcare’s Kris Wolff and Ginnie Berg as they guide hospital boards and leadership to understand their role and responsibilities in advancing health equity for their healthcare organizations. This session will explore key topics, including health equity plans, social determinants and drivers of health, and will provide actionable recommendations for hospitals to promote equitable care in their communities.
