The struggle to achieve health equity takes many forms, and the alliances necessary to support these initiatives include a variety of community, national, and global partnerships. How can we create and leverage these partnerships to better support health centers and create meaningful impact for the marginalized patients they serve? Our panel discussion shared insights from a health center leader who has forged community partnerships to improve health equity—as well as national and regional perspectives and context from Pfizer’s Multicultural Health Equity Collective and the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health.
Featuring voices from a health center stakeholder and national experts, this webinar provided tips on building partnerships, shared lessons learned in implementation, and more.
