Biography
To me, health equity is fundamentally about access. Health equity, when exercised, should facilitate access to all the resources that allow individuals from all communities to lead healthy lives without considering their race, gender, socioeconomic status or any other socially constructed affiliation. A goal of mine is to assist organizations with the development of policies and programs that directly impact the health of marginalized communities.
