Advancing Health Equity


Now more than ever, boards of trustees have the opportunity to lead the way on collaborating to create more equitable healthcare.

The sobering fact of health inequity has been spotlighted through the recent experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. As a result, healthcare boards of trustees and senior leaders are deepening their commitment to advancing health equity and population health programs. Selected resources for boards are provided in this governWell Governance Essentials microportal. For more about governWell™ resources, contact us.
