Reimagining Equitable Systems for Thriving People and Places
Setup
Traditional views of healthcare have built the environment we live in—and reinforced systemic inequities and poor health outcomes. Is our own thinking limiting our ability to truly transform community-level conditions that catalyze well-being? What cross-sector investments and strategies are required to rebuild communities through shifting power, voice and interest for community-led systemic solutions? Join us for a panel conversation that challenges assumptions, examines innovative risks, and reimagines new and equitable systems that support thriving people and places.
