Our principles ​

Health inequity is influenced by a history of unequal access, care and conditions. Health Equity can be achieved when:
  • All communities have access to  medical care, health education and holistic information.
  • Therapy and education focus on the challenging and unique experiences of vulnerable groups.
  • Individuals and families are educated and empowered to make informed lifestyle and health decisions.
  • Resources and intervention focus on primary prevention.​​
  • We collectively work to end social, environmental, food and economic injustice.
Picture
Healthy People 2020 defines a health disparity as ​
"a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage. Health disparities adversely affect groups of people who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; age; mental health; cognitive, sensory, or physical disability; sexual orientation or gender identity; geographic location; or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion"
"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death. ........“I see no alternative to direct action and creative nonviolence to raise the conscience of the nation.”

Martin Luther King at the 
Medical Committee for Human Rights (MCHR), Chicago, March 25, 1966
