Health Equity Roundtable
The Health Equity Roundtable
Everyone has a right to quality health care. Yet the data show that even with New England’s world-class doctors and hospitals, good health care still is not available to many people of color or minority communities.
The Health Equity Roundtable brings together health care providers, patients, community leaders and advocates to facilitate conversations about how to end inequalities in our health care system.
Read the results of the first Transgender Health Report and Transgender Health Executive Summary on Transgender Health. The Roundtable program is suspended, pending staffing decisions. For information email Karen_Voci@harvardpilgrim.org.
