Health equity
An important component of our commitment to our community is health equity and removing obstacles so everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be healthier. This concept is essential to achieving our vision. Many of our colleagues, including leaders, front-line staff, physicians and other providers, are already working to eliminate inequities and reduce obstacles to health for children and families. Everyone on our team, no matter their role, plays a part in ensuring kids have access to equitable care and services.
