​
Health equity refers to the absence of systematic disparities in health between different groups, with a commitment to addressing social determinants that contribute to health inequalities. The need for a think tank in this domain arises from the persistent disparities in healthcare access, outcomes, and overall well-being among diverse populations.
Key factors driving the creation of a health equity think tank include:
​
-
Access to Medical, Dental and Behavioral Healthcare. We aim to help create innovative strategies for improving access to quality by fostering partnerships between communities and the health care providers that serve them. Continued disparities in healthcare access and outcomes, often correlate with geographic location, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other demographic factors, underscore the need for innovative and targeted efforts to reduce these gaps.
-
Social Determinants of Health: We will identify sustainable solutions for addressing social determinants of health.
-
Policy Analysis and Advocacy: We will serve as a platform for in-depth policy analysis and advocacy to inform and shape policies that promote health equity at local and national levels.
-
Interdisciplinary and Community Collaboration: We will encourage collaboration across disciplines, bringing together experts in medicine, public health, sociology, economics, and other fields to develop holistic solutions for improving community health outcomes.
-
Technology: We aim to highlight evidence-based insights into effective technology and strategies for achieving health equity.
-
Education and Awareness: We aim to raise awareness about health disparities and educating stakeholders, including policymakers, healthcare providers, and communities, to foster a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.
By addressing these factors, the Pearlz2Purpose Health Equity Think Tank strives to contribute to the development of policies and practices that lead to improved health outcomes for all Americans.
