Overcoming Threats to Health Equity: Today and Tomorrow
Today, and as we look to the future, numerous concepts, beliefs, practices, policies, and systems pose threats to health equity. To raise awareness of the most pressing issues for health equity and to ideate on solutions, the P4HE Collaborative is hosting a town hall style webinar to uplift your questions on current and future threats to health equity and the actions needed to overcome them.
This webinar will amplify your voices, our collaborators, by posing your submitted questions* in a town hall style discussion to a panel of cross-sector subject matter experts. Your questions for the panelists on ways to overcome threats to health equity can be submitted via this form. These questions will help to facilitate a community-centered conversation to inspire action and change.
*Questions submitted by October 28th will be used for the live Q&A with our panelists. Due to time constraints, questions that are not addressed live will be addressed in follow-up materials that will be available in our Resource Library and circulated through the P4HE Newsletter.
