Scholars were asked "What does health equity mean to you?"
Health equity ensures that within a healthcare system people's needs are met without regard to ones race, ethnicity, gender identity, disability, language, etc. However, equitable healthcare involves being cognizant of how a person's various identities can negatively affect their everyday life and consequently their health.
