What is Health Equity?
“…Conditions that give everyone the opportunity to reach their best health. This requires valuing all individuals and populations equally. It means addressing inequities in the places where people are born, grow, live, work, learn and age.” (American Public Health Association)

“The attainment of the highest level of health for all people.” (US DHHS)

Inequity & DisparityInequities are created when barriers prevent individuals and communities from accessing these conditions and reaching their full potential. Inequities differ from health disparities, which are differences in health status between people related to social or demographic factors such as race, gender, income or geographic region. Health disparities are one way we can measure our progress toward achieving health equity. (American Public Health Association)
