About us
The mission of the National Collaborative for Health Equity is to promote health equity by harnessing evidence, developing leaders, and catalyzing partnerships across the many different sectors that share responsibility for creating a more equitable and just society. Recognizing that action, leadership, inclusion, and collaboration are the basis for driving policy decisions, we strive to connect people most impacted by social and racial injustices and to transform systems and institutions built on the enduring legacy of racism, particularly its less visible – but more insidious –structural manifestations. In so doing, we will improve the health, well-being and life opportunities for communities of color.

https://lnkd.in/gPxiZyfX On this day in 1963, a quarter of a million people marched on Washington, a powerful testament to the collective yearning for a more just and equitable society. As we reflect on Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, new research with National Collaborative for Health Equity reminds us that despite our differences, Americans are more united than divided on key issues. Let's honor this day by embracing our shared values and continuing the march towards Dr. King's vision. #MarchOnWashington #MLK #Equality #Unity #DreamStillLives #SocialJustice #RacialHealing

As we prepare for the upcoming fall and winter season, it's crucial to ensure that all Americans have access to updated COVID-19 vaccines. Unfortunately, federal funding cuts mean the end of the CDC's Bridge Access Program, leaving many without affordable options. Let's advocate for accessible healthcare for all. #HealthEquity #COVIDVaccines #HealthcareAccess https://ow.ly/cQus50T9XO4

For decades, data has been a powerful tool to bring the injustices and challenges communities face to the forefront. It also helps decisionmakers provide effective resources to improve the outcomes of those in need. I recently had a conversation with Alonzo Plough Ph.D, MPH from RWJF about the critical role data systems play in improving the well-being of communities. We dove into one of my favorite topics: how changing the narrative to asset-framing can revolutionize health data and promote equity.

What is RX Racial Healing? Individual, collective and societal process of replacing the now consciously and unconsciously embedded belief in a false taxonomy and hierarchy of human value with a heartfelt awareness, appreciation, and belief in the sacred interdependence and interconnectedness of humanity. It is the process of learning that we are one expansive human family. This is a journey from fractionalization to wholeness; from division and separateness to unity. It is a recommended protocol for increasing individual and collective capacity for perspective taking and empathy. Ready to take action towards racial healing? Check out RX Racial Healing on the NCHE website and join the movement for change. https://ow.ly/qgIZ50T4m3B #racialhealing

If you run in the same health equity circles as I do, you’ve probably seen discussion of the recent study featured in JAMA which showed a connection between increased racial discrimination and vulnerability to stress-related disorders and neurodegenerative disease in Black Women. It’s a powerful illustration of why we must continue to learn more about social determinants of health (SDOH) and broaden our understanding of health to embrace wellbeing – not just disease prevention. Just as studies like this help us learn more about the effects of racial discrimination on individual health, more equitable public health data governance can help us to understand and address these effects at the local, state, and national level. https://lnkd.in/dq-JK_YC #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #SDOH
