Connecticut

HES is an organization focused on advancing health equity in the state of Connecticut.

Connecticut has a long way to go towards achieving health equity, according to the America’s Health Rankings report of 2016. Health inequities for the less educated in our state continues to be a significant problem.
The Affordable Care Act has many provisions that promise to advance health equity, but many of these provisions are underfunded or not funded at all.
For our kids, good mental health starts where they learn. School based health centers must be accessible for students who need it most.
