ACT on Health Equity is a powerful and growing national network of local public health departments, hospitals, and community-based organizations focused on creating health equity. The coalition seeks to establish a durable infrastructure sustained by private and public long-term funding that allows communities to forge and sustain well-being for all.
THERE WILL BE NO JUSTICE WITHOUT HEALTH AND RACIAL EQUITY.
THE ACT
Unraveling our many health inequities is possible if we take a long-term, long-lasting approach. The Federal Health Equity For All Act will institute the infrastructure and mechanisms at the community level to locally create the conditions for durable well-being.
​
Long-Term Federal Funding. Create a durable federal funding mechanism under community control for health equity anchor institutions.
​
Critical Mass for People Power. Weave a network of health equity innovation hubs with decision-making power to design, test, implement, and disseminate actionable policies and interventions.
​
Pioneering Financial Tools. Build on existing, innovative financial mechanisms to unlocking public and private capital for communities to advance new health equity ideas.
​
Peer Learning for Innovators. Based on a peer-learning model, the national training academy will support communities, public sector agencies, and businesses to advance health equity.
​
Real-Time Wellness Indicators. Track wellness and determinants of health indicators as we track the economic indexes.
