What is Health Equity?

Why does it matter?

How do we work to achieve health equity?

Watch our 'What is Health Equity' video for more information.

Our infographics have been developed to help others better understand the framework and goal of Health Equity, including what factors must be addressed and eliminated in order to achieve Health Equity.  

Most of the infographics are in PDF format. If you need a PDF reader for your browser, visit Adobe.com.

This 3-minute motion graphic video explains how social, economic, and environmental conditions can create health inequities and how these inequities can affect health disparities.

In collaboration with the Cinema department, HEI has produced over 50 short documentaries. These films are student-produced and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Health Equity Institute. Students learn how to blend the art of storytelling with social justice issues. We are seeking funding to rebuild this program that was dissolved in 2018.
