The Health Equity Case Studies Handbook

Hardly anyone would argue that the healthcare system needs to be reformed as prices skyrocket and Americans feel overwhelmed with conflicting health and wellness information.

The Health Equity Case Studies Handbook, however, proves that progress can be made in the healthcare system. In fact, it is being made today.

This handbook offers an in-depth look into the work of dozens of hospitals, health plans, and programs, illustrating how the use of equity principles can and will improve the health of communities across the country.

Through collaboration and investment in social health infrastructure locally, these trailblazing leaders and organizations show us change in action through:

- Programs that tackle food insecurity, affordable housing, health literacy, and chronic disease.

- Partnerships between hospitals, civic leaders, wellness initiatives, and community programs to prioritize patient voices and local priorities.

- Funding models constructed to support growth and sustainability.

Whether you're a healthcare leader, provider, policymaker, community organizer, or student, this resource offers proven equity strategies to build better health for all.
