Health
equity is an economic issue as well as a social justice issue. Significant
inequities and disparities exist between different racial/ethnic groups,
socioeconomic classes, geographical location, and in social determinants of
health such as poverty, education, inadequate housing, and unsafe working
conditions. The burden of health inequities constitutes a huge financial and
social cost to our nation in terms of the quantity and quality of life. Join
