HEALTH EQUITY SUMMIT: THE ALLIANCE HOSTED THE 5TH ANNUAL HEALTH EQUITY SUMMIT IN 2023. CRITICAL TRACKS FOR THIS EVENT INCLUDED FORCES FOR CHANGE, EMPOWERED COMMUNITIES, AND SHARED CULTURES. FORCES FOR CHANGE ALLOWED ATTENDEES TO EXPLORE THE LATEST RESEARCH, POLICIES, AND INITIATIVES DRIVING POSITIVE CHANGES IN HEALTH EQUITY. AND TO SHARE SUCCESS STORIES AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM IMPACTFUL INTERVENTIONS AND COLLABORATIONS. EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES TO SHOWCASE COMMUNITY-LED INITIATIVES THAT ENABLE INDIVIDUALS TO CARE FOR THEIR HEALTH AND DISCUSS STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND ENGAGING DIVERSE POPULATIONS. SHARED CULTURES ALLOW EACH ORGANIZATION TO EXAMINE THE INTERSECTION OF CULTURE AND HEALTH, ADDRESSING THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF VARIOUS COMMUNITIES AND HIGHLIGHTING CULTURALLY SENSITIVE APPROACHES THAT PROMOTE INCLUSIVITY AND UNDERSTANDING IN HEALTHCARE.

POPULATION HEALTH SUMMIT. LIVE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES, COLLECTIVE IMPACT IN ACTION, PARTNERS ALIGNING FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH. POPULATION-LEVEL CHANGES CANNOT HAPPEN BY AN INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATION OR AGENCY. STILL, A COLLABORATIVE GROUP OF MULTI-SECTORAL PARTNERSHIPS CAN ADVANCE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS AND GREATLY INFLUENCE SOCIAL IMPACT. BY DEVELOPING AND STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS SECTORS, WE CAN BLEND THE STRENGTHS AND RESOURCES OF DIVERSE INDUSTRIES AND PARTNERS WHO SHARE A COMMON VISION AND PURPOSE.
