About This Year's Summit
Health inequities are pervasive in our communities, particularly in rural areas where access to care and resources is limited. Health inequities are compounded for individuals across the lifespan who experience racial and other social injustices, with inequities further exacerbated by a lack of health care professionals who share their identities and lived experiences. The purpose of this Summit is to start the conversation about what health equity should look like in our region. The Summit aims to uncover barriers and identify opportunities for individual and collective action that will put us on the pathway to health equity.
