Results from our social determinants of health survey indicated that family physicians want to help address their patients' needs, but face many barriers. Transforming health care for everyone inspired The EveryONE Project by AAFP.
The initiative, which is part of the AAFP's Center for Diversity and Health Equity (CDHE), offers education and resources to help you advocate for health equity, promote workforce diversity, and collaborate with other disciplines and organizations to reduce harmful disparities.
As part of Black History Month and Women's History Month, the CDHE invited members to join the "Power to Heal" Town Hall for a panel discussion on advocating for Medicare payment and access, and actions that advance health equity.
Promote medicine as a legitimate career option for students from disadvantaged communities.
Promote the passage of policies advancing health equity at the local, state and federal level.
Engage with your community and identify opportunities to improve public health and health equity.
Explore resources to address social determinants of health and promote health equity.
Email us at healthequity@aafp.org if you're interested in inviting an expert to speak.
