How Can We Advance Health Equity?




Stanford Social Innovation Review Podcast show

Summary: <p>Health is more than health care. It’s also a product of several social factors, including education, income, race or ethnicity, and neighborhood environment—which means that attaining health equity will require addressing many larger social and economic issues. </p> <p>How can we accomplish this goal? That’s the topic of this panel from our <a href="http://ssirfrontiers.org">Frontiers of Social Innovation conference</a>, featuring Faith Mitchell, president and CEO of <a href="http://www.gih.org">Grantmakers In Health</a>, Dr. Robert Ross, president and CEO of <a href="http://www.calendow.org">The California Endowment</a>, and Nick Tilsen, the founding executive director of the <a href="http://www.thundervalley.org">Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation</a>, an grassroots organization of the Oglala Lakota Nation. They discuss how they are applying a health equity perspective to their work, what they have accomplished, and what it will take to achieve an inclusive—and healthy—society.</p> <p><img src="https://ssir.org/images/articles/robert_ross_pod.png" alt="robert_ross" height="100" width="100" class="photo">  <img src="https://ssir.org/images/articles/Nick_Tilsen_pod.jpg" alt="nick_tilsen" height="100" width="100" class="photo"></p><br><a href="https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/how_can_we_advance_health_equity">https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/how_can_we_advance_health_equity</a>
