Health Equity Scholars Program

Scholars were asked "What does health equity mean to you?"

Health equity, to me, means making sure that everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from, has the same opportunity to receive high-quality healthcare. It’s about breaking down barriers—whether they’re financial, geographical, or related to language or culture—so that everyone can get the care they need. Accessibility is key here, ensuring that healthcare is not just available, but also affordable and appropriate for every individual.
