Activity Description

Achieving health equity, eliminating disparities, and improving health for all is the ideal goal within an organization. Closing the gaps to improve quality of life, health, and overall well-being regardless of one's socioeconomic, cultural, or educational status, or the level of other social determinants of health is essential in establishing a solid program foundation.
