Equity Is In Our DNA

Equity Is In Our DNA

We View the World Through an Equity Lens

We View the World Through an Equity Lens

To be equitable, we must consider who experiences the benefit and the burden of any decision, behavior, or action.

We develop people and organizations to produce health through equitable policies, programs, and practices.

Our World View

Your health is not an accident; it is a production of society.

Our vision is an America in which all people have equitable opportunities and neighborhood conditions to achieve their best possible health.

That means that no matter what we do in the world, it has an impact on our health and the health of people around us. ALL roads lead to health.

Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes the time.
Vision with action can change the world.

Do more than belong: PARTICIPATE. Do more than care: HELP.
Do more than believe: PRACTICE. Do more than be fair: BE KIND.
Do more than forgive: FORGET. Do more than dream: WORK.

The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.
