Health inequity requires urgent attention as social and economic inequality increases. Through panel presentations and audience dialogue, this event explores core themes associated with acting more directly on root causes in everyday practice beyond remediating consequences of health inequity. Core themes include building power and alliance; workforce training; taking leadership; and devising a compelling public narrative.
