Health Equity Foundations
Multiculturalism and diverse society celebration as a multiracial community and global diversity brotherhood in a 3D illustration style.
Health equity is achieved when every person, regardless of race, place, or circumstance, has the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Some of the known barriers are referred to as Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and are determined by the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, play and age. These barriers, driven by structural racism, discrimination and stigma, include poverty, lack of access to quality education, housing, good jobs and comprehensive, high quality health care. Communities that are overwhelmingly impacted by these obstacles are underserved, including communities of color, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, women, and those who live in rural or frontier settings. This activity will define health equity, distinguish between equity, equality, and justice, discuss health equity and inequities, and identify individual strategies to promote health equity.

Empathy: Social Care Education
The empathy series is a multi-module activity designed to be self-paced and interactive. We encourage you to complete the modules individually and then reflect on learning amongst your colleagues. The series is designed to equip you with social care expertise that drives deeper awareness and compassionate care for the people you serve. This content is applicable to any role within health care, focusing on critical concepts like health equity, social determinants of health, empathy, health disparities, cultural humility, motivational interviewing and compassion. Each module uses a variety of interactive and educational elements using data, infographics, animated video, knowledge checks, historical events and audio recordings from our members. The empathy series will require you to reflect on your personal and cultural experiences and encourage you to slow down, actively listen and take the appropriate action to serve others, whether that be patients, colleagues, family, friends or your community.
