What does Health Equity mean?

Health Equity is the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health. Achieving this requires ongoing societal efforts to: 

  • Address historical and contemporary injustices.

  • Overcome economic, social, and other obstacles to health and health care.

  • Eliminate preventable health disparities.

A Message about your Conference Registration Fee

We want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your support and enthusiasm for our upcoming conference. We understand that your registration fee represents an investment in not only your professional development but also in the values and initiatives we collectively strive to uphold. 

We are committed to ensuring that your investment has a meaningful impact beyond the confines of the conference walls. That's why a portion of your registration fee is dedicated to several important initiatives aimed at promoting equity and supporting our community. 

  • First and foremost, we believe in equitable compensation for speakers from community-based organizations whose expertise and perspectives are invaluable. Your registration fee helps us ensure that these speakers receive fair compensation for their time and contributions. 

  • Additionally, we are dedicated to supporting local, small business vendors by investing in their services for various aspects of the conference, like event supplies, leis, and entertainers. This not only strengthens our local economy but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration. 

  • We also recognize the importance of fostering the next generation of healthcare leaders. Your registration fee helps subsidize costs for students, allowing them to attend the conference and benefit from its educational opportunities, networking, and mentorship. 

  • Lastly, we are committed to supporting travel for participants who serve underserved communities. Your registration fee helps cover travel expenses for these individuals, ensuring that they have the opportunity to participate in the conference and bring back valuable insights and knowledge to their communities. 

Your support makes all of this possible, and we are incredibly grateful for your contribution to these important initiatives. Together, we can make a difference and create positive change in our communities and beyond. 

Thank you for your commitment and dedication to advancing health equity in the communities we serve.
