Get ready for ASTHO’s Health Equity Summit, an annual convening of state and island area health officials, federal and local partners, and stakeholders committed to advancing health and racial equity. This event is designed by and for public health professionals, health equity leaders, and their partners.
Attendees will have conversations that inspire action to confront health inequities’ root causes and move towards justice. The summit provides a forum for leaders to gather and learn more about health equity initiatives across the nation and how to implement similar policies in their own jurisdictions.
This year’s summit will:
- Motivate the public health workforce and stakeholders to prioritize implementing evidence-based practices and policies directed toward advancing the health and well-being of people who have experienced historical discrimination and oppression.
- Promote equity practices that are sustainable within our public health system by working alongside community members to envision a nation that supports optimal health for all.
- Encourage collaboration and information sharing among state and federal health officials, partners, and stakeholders across states and jurisdictions to advance equity.
