Health Care Equity

Health care equity means ensuring that everyone has fair access to high-quality health care, regardless of their background, income, race, or location. It focuses on identifying and addressing barriers that some groups face in obtaining care, like economic challenges or discrimination. The goal is to provide the resources and support needed for all individuals to achieve their best health outcomes, acknowledging that different people might need different support to reach the same standard of health. Ultimately, health care equity strives to create a system where everyone receives the care they need to thrive.
