It is more important now than ever to reaffirm that Health Equity Solutions remains unapologetically anti-racist and committed to promoting racial equity in health outcomes. Poor health outcomes in our country and in Connecticut are not coincidental. They are the result of systemic racism and intersecting forms of oppression that have shaped policies, access, and care for generations. Our stance is it is about committing to action. It is about creating a future where the color of your skin, your zip code, or the amount of income you earn does not determine your chances of living a long, healthy life. Our commitment to anti-racism and equity are not moral positions; they are a strategic imperative. Equity is not only the right thing to do, but also an effective and fundamentally pragmatic path to healthier communities, stronger health systems for all, and a just society.Â
Health Equity Advantage
Join us for the HES Walk for Health Equity on Sunday, October 12th at Bushnell Park! This event is more than a walk – it’s a powerful statement that the current systems in place do not meet the needs of all people who live in Connecticut, particularly our Black and Brown communities that are disproportionately impacted by health disparities. Walk with us in this movement for justice.
